| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Known hardware tampering | None | [] | No public evidence suggests frequent physical tampering of this model |
| Known vulnerabilities | None | [2] | Vulnerabilities have been found in related Arlo hardware (base stations), but patches are applied; no major widespread exploits published specifically for Ultra 2 |
| Prior attacks | None | [] | I found no credible records of a major attack specifically targeting Arlo Ultra 2 |
| Updatability | Very common | [3] | The device is designed to receive firmware updates routinely, which supports high updatability |

| System | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Authentication with other systems | Full | [4] | Ultra 2 integrates with multiple ecosystems for smart home functionality |
| Communications | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [5] | Communications are encrypted, but cloud must decrypt to enable features like activity zones |
| Storage | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [6] | Arlo uses encrypted communications and likely encrypts stored footage, but full “end-to-end” storage encryption is not confirmed |
| Category score | 1 | ||
| User Authentication | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Account management | Full | [7] | Users can manage their account via app/web, including trusted devices, 2FA, linked devices |
| Authentication | Secure | [8] | Arlo requires two-step verification for all users, adding an extra layer beyond just password |
| Brute-force protection | Exist | [] | The 2FA mechanism and login alerts imply some protection against brute-force attacks |
| Event logging | Access event logged | [9] | The system logs login attempts, warns the user, and allows viewing / removal of logged-in devices |
| Passwords | Require change after setup with complexity requirements | [10] | Users can change their password; default or weak passwords are discouraged especially since 2FA is mandatory |
