The Importance of Protecting Smart Building Technology from Cyber Threats
Juniper Research estimates more than 115 million buildings will deploy smart building technologies by 2026, an increase of over 2.5X from 2022. Smart building technology has revolutionized the way buildings are managed, providing greater control and efficiency over critical systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, elevators, life safety, and security. Benefits of…
Read MoreBenefits of Zero Trust for OT Cybersecurity
Operational technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software systems that are used to control and monitor physical devices, processes, and events in an organization. These systems are critical to the functioning of many industries, including manufacturing, energy, transportation, and utilities. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on securing OT systems due…
Read MoreDemystifying OT and IoT Security and FPGAs
OT and IoT Security and FPGAs Connecting IT and OT networks delivers greater visibility and makes it possible to better utilize platforms, buildings, industrial PLCs, and more. But it also increases complexity and blurs network boundaries—resulting in vulnerabilities that provide hackers with ample opportunities to strike. In this podcast, we review how organizations deploy Field…
