Specifying Cyber Security Requirements for Building Automation Systems: An Introduction to Industry Challenges, Opportunities and Best Practices

This seminar discusses current issues of control networking security standards for Building Automation solutions and the need for cybersecurity best practices. As more devices are connected to the building network requiring access to the BAS and then to the Internet, the greater the opportunity for exploitation of both internal and external network access. IoT technologies provide direct access from a cloud service to a device, in many cases, bypassing the constraints set up by IT. This session discusses risks and opportunities associated with cybersecurity and efforts to develop smart building specifications to minimize the potential risks while balancing the desire for new solutions.
