Grounded in global compliance standards

Milestone adheres to the NIST standards for secure software development of XProtect as required by the U.S. Executive Order 14028.

And they lay a strong foundation for helping companies achieve FIPS and GDPR compliance.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)

Our products are designed to align with FIPS 140-2 standards, using Microsoft’s Cryptography API, Next Generation (CNG) for secure cryptographic functions. This means they meet the high security standards required by government and regulated industries in the US and Canada, making them a reliable choice for organizations aiming for FIPS compliance.

If I install Milestone XProtect VMS on a FIPS-enabled Windows server, is it fully secured against hacking?

Running Milestone XProtect VMS on a FIPS-enabled Windows server ensures that approved secure cryptographic functions are used. It however is still required to protect the servers, network, cameras etc. with the regular security protections like, hardening the Windows servers, installing certificates for encrypted communication, applying regular security patches, etc. With this done your installation will be protected as best can, but even with this done it can never be “fully” secure as there may be unknown vulnerabilities somewhere in the software and components used that might be exploitable.
