A growing concern
Governments and enterprises increasingly treat the hardware supply chain as a security issue. Counterfeit or tampered network devices may contain modified firmware, miss security updates or fail early in critical environments.
Risks of unofficial sources
Equipment bought from unauthorised sellers may have no warranty, no access to firmware updates and no guarantee that it has not been altered. For networks that carry payments, patient data or industrial control traffic, that uncertainty is unacceptable.
How to protect your projects
Buy only from authorised distributors and resellers. Check serial numbers with the manufacturer before installation. Keep records of where each device came from. Make sure every device can receive official firmware updates for its whole life in your network.
Navijin's approach
Navijin products are sold through authorised partners, held in regional stock in Dubai, Baku and Tripoli, and every unit can be checked with our official product verification service. Certification documents are available to partners and for project tenders.
