- AXIS OS 13 introduces HTTPS-only connections, password complexity requirements and signed application verification.
- The update includes improvements to device configuration and integration between security and IT systems.
- The new version also addresses the Year 2038 computing problem.
The update introduces a series of cybersecurity and integration improvements, including changes to default security settings intended to help organisations meet evolving cybersecurity requirements.
Among the additions are HTTPS-only connections, password complexity enforcement and signed application verification. These measures are designed to strengthen device security and help protect systems against unauthorised access and potentially untrusted applications.
AXIS OS is used across more than 200 Axis product models, with the company stating that tens of millions of devices are deployed at customer sites worldwide. The operating system provides a common software platform across different product categories, with ongoing updates supporting device security and management throughout their operational lifecycles.
Version 13 also includes enhancements intended to improve integration between security and IT teams. These include developments to the next generation of VAPIX, Axis’ unified configuration framework that streamlines configuration management of devices.
Another change addresses the Year 2038 problem, a known computing issue linked to the way certain systems store time values. The problem is associated with the 32-bit representation of Unix time, which will reach its limit on 19 January 2038. Axis says the issue will be addressed in AXIS OS 13.
The release continues Axis’ development of a common operating system for its network devices, with a focus on cybersecurity, interoperability and long-term software support.
