Read MoreCybersecurity Insurance for Buildings, BAS, BMS
Building owners should have cybersecurity insurance for their building automation systems (BAS) due to the increasing risk of cyberattacks on connected infrastructure. Key Reasons for BAS/BMS Cybersecurity Insurance Protection Against Financial Loss: A cyberattack on BAS can result in significant financial losses from system downtime, operational disruptions, or damaged equipment. Cybersecurity insurance can cover the…
Read MoreBACnet Security Issues and How to Mitigate Cyber Risks
BACnet is a commonly used protocol for building automation and operational technology (OT) systems, and is used to establish communication between various devices in a network. Because BACnet-based building systems were originally deployed in isolated (air-gapped) environments, BACnet was not designed with security. Therefore, millions of BACnet devices are lacking common security mechanisms such as…
Read MoreImproving BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) Deployment with Automated Certificate Management
Managing BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) certificates can be a challenging task, especially for large buildings. Just recently at the AHR Expo 2024, we learned of a project that had over 300 devices and the decision was made to use 10-year certificates due to the multiple days (3-4) of labor needed to deploy BACnet/SC certificates. The…
Read MoreBACnet MS/TP Security Risks and Vulnerabilities
What is BACnet MS/TP? BACnet MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing) is a widely used communication protocol in building automation and control systems. BACnet MS/TP is implemented with a shared bus and one or more building control devices daisy-chained along the wiring from a controller or a BACnet IP router/gateway. It is commonly used to connect field devices such…
Read MoreApplying Zero Trust to OT Networks For Smart Buildings
In December 2021, a ransomware attack locked a BAS firm and its building client out of the system, taking out 75% of smart building OT. Using device-level SaaS security in a NIST-compliant Zero Trust framework, BAS vendors can prevent smart building breaches. SaaS security for OT devices uses device-level identification and authentication, with no direct device access…
Read MoreSeven Security Considerations for Smart Building Devices
A smart building or factory can contain thousands of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The problem is not all of them are secure. So, does that matter? At Veridify, we believe it does. A flaw in a single product can expose an organization, its people and customers to enormous personal, financial, and reputational risks. Smart…
