Overcoming Niagara Framework Cyber Vulnerabilities
Key Points Comprehensive Vulnerability Mitigation: DOME encrypts all device communications, enforces unique cryptographic identities, blocks unauthorized actions, and prevents lateral movement even on flat networks—addressing risks like unencrypted data, credential hijacking, privilege escalation, and insecure configurations. Zero Trust at the Endpoint: Every enrolled device must authenticate and follow strict, policy-based access rules, ensuring only explicitly…
Read MoreFuture-Proofing OT Cybersecurity
Key Points OT Cybersecurity Faces Unique Challenges: Operational technology networks are often outdated, lack operating systems, span wide geographies, and weren’t designed for connectivity—making them vulnerable and hard to secure. Existing IT-Based Solutions Fall Short: Current cybersecurity tools focus on monitoring and alerting rather than proactive protection, leading to alert fatigue and leaving OT…
Read MoreBenefits of Encryption for OT Networks
Key Points Why OT Needs Encryption Now: Historically air-gapped OT systems avoided encryption due to isolation, performance concerns, and device limitations, but modern connectivity and remote access have made unprotected communications a major cyber risk. Key Security Benefits: Encryption prevents unauthorized access, stops man-in-the-middle attacks, protects sensitive operational data, supports regulatory compliance, and maintains system…
Read MoreProtecting Airport Baggage Handling Systems from Cyberattack
Key Points Growing Cyber Risk for BHS: Airport baggage handling systems, running on legacy OT hardware and insecure protocols like Modbus and BACnet, are increasingly vulnerable to ransomware, insider threats, and state-sponsored cyberattacks. High Impact of Disruption: A BHS outage can cause major operational delays, lost luggage, passenger frustration, and even compromise sensitive passenger data.…
Read MoreCybersecurity Challenges in Retrofitted Smart Buildings
Key Points Legacy Systems Are Inherently Vulnerable: Most retrofitted buildings rely on outdated OT devices and insecure protocols (like BACnet and Modbus) that lack basic cybersecurity features such as encryption and authentication. Integration Increases Risk: Retrofitting often connects legacy OT systems to modern IT networks without proper segmentation, exposing buildings to lateral movement and cyberattacks.…

Siegeware and the Cyber Defense of Smart Buildings
Key Points Siegeware is a targeted cyber threat that exploits smart building systems (like HVAC, access control, and elevators) to extort building owners by locking them out or threatening disruption. Vulnerabilities include weak IoT security, outdated software, and poor network segmentation, all of which expand as buildings become more connected. Common reconnaissance tools like Shodan…
Read MoreCommercial Real Estate Cybersecurity Governance and Best Practices
Key Points Rising Cyber Risks in CRE: Digital transformation, IoT devices, and AI in smart buildings create new vulnerabilities, making cybersecurity a critical business priority for commercial real estate firms. Governance Framework Essentials: CRE companies must evaluate current protections, assess adequacy through continuous risk evaluation, and verify security performance with monitoring, third-party validation, and incident…
