The Device Security Lifecycle27 questions
This module follows a device from production to decommissioning. It shows what Axis provides at each stage, from supply chain controls to the factory default that erases a device before it leaves service.
Skills tested
- Explain how signed OS and secure boot protect a device between the factory and the site.
- Harden a new device with a factory default, the AXIS OS Hardening Guide, HTTPS and strong passwords.
- Keep devices in service on current AXIS OS and plan replacement before the end-of-support date.
- Erase configurations and data with a factory default when a device is decommissioned.
Questions by topic
- Production and Distribution Phase6
- Implementation Phase8
- In-Service Phase7
- Decommissioning Phase6
Axis Security Features in Detail27 questions
The last module lists the security features in Axis products and software. Axis Edge Vault sits at the center, with signed OS, secure boot, Axis Device ID, the secure keystore and signed video. Management tools such as AXIS Device Manager complete the set.
Skills tested
- Explain how Axis Edge Vault uses a Secure Element or a TPM to protect keys.
- Describe how signed video lets anyone check that footage was not altered.
- Encrypt device traffic with HTTPS and IEEE 802.1AE MACsec.
- Use AXIS Device Manager to manage settings and updates across many devices.
Questions by topic
- Axis Edge Vault Platform11
- Network Security and Communication Features7
- Device Management and Hardening Tools6
- Hardening guides for OS, cameras, and switches3
Requirements
- No formal prerequisites: the course needs only a MyAxis account to register.
- Recommended: a basic understanding of networking concepts.
- Recommended: some experience with IP-based surveillance systems, which helps but is not required.
About the AXIS-eLearning-CyberAtAxis exam
Get to Know Cybersecurity at Axis (AXIS-eLearning-CyberAtAxis) is an awareness course from Axis Communications for people who work in network video surveillance. It shows how Axis protects its devices with hardware, software and processes, and why securing a system is a shared responsibility. The course ends with a quiz across all of its modules. Finishing it earns a course completion, not a certification.
The PlanetCert practice test gives each module a similar share of questions, so no part of the course is left out. Explanations name the Axis feature behind each answer, for example how signed OS and secure boot together keep a device on genuine AXIS OS. Flashcard mode suits Axis Security Features in Detail, which is dense with feature and standard names. Brainy AI Assistant can explain who owns which task under the shared responsibility model, or how IEEE 802.1X controls network access.

How to prepare for AXIS-eLearning-CyberAtAxis
- 1
Finish every module first
Work through each module of the course on the Axis LMS before practising. The closing quiz draws on all of them, so take notes in each one.
- 2
Draw the three security pillars
Sketch hardware, software and processes as three columns. Place Axis Edge Vault, AXIS OS, signed OS, secure boot, ASDM and the information security management system in the right column.
- 3
Walk one camera through its lifecycle
Pick one camera and list what protects it at each stage: supply chain controls in production, signed OS in distribution, hardening at installation, updates in service and a factory default at the end.
- 4
Map who owns each security task
List what Axis, the system integrator and the end customer each do under the shared responsibility model. Then test the list on one site, such as a school's camera system.
- 5
Drill feature names, then test
Use flashcard mode for feature names such as Axis Device ID, secure keystore and signed video. Then take the full practice test, and ask Brainy AI Assistant about any feature whose purpose is still unclear.
