Network steganography-What is the risk?

[Mork <martyfromork () gmail com>]

Hi group!

I have a case where a client has a video network where only camera
feed transits. The feed can be qualified as sensitive. If the feed
gets corrupted my client would face serious problems.

The client is afraid an ill intentioned person would try to insert
network steganography impregnated malware through the video feeds.

We've covered other types of risks, man in the middle, DoS etc..

My feeling is that the risk is minimal. Can you corrupt a video feed
to the point where it would affect the network?

What's your opinion on this?

Do you have examples where a video network was corrupted by steganography?

Any othe risks that you see?

Note : The network is not reachable from the Internet. To intrude you
would need to physically cut open a communication wire or access the
physically protected aedicule (small construction where telecom
equipment is housed) to connect to the internal network. Social
engineering is out of the question, only a handpicked few have access
to the network, let's assume it's secure from that point of view.

Thanks!

Mork
