Protecting building automation systems from cyber attacks.

Challenges of Cybersecurity in Building Automation Systems (BAS): How to Achieve a Balance Between Data Protection and Operational Efficiency?

Current Building Automation Systems (BAS) face cybersecurity challenges that require them to collect, utilize, and provide critical data while also protecting that data. This issue has a dual nature: - The data obtained from commercial and corporate building facilities has become more abundant than ever, and the recognition of the value of this data is increasing. - BAS data and its functionalities are exposed to risks of misuse and theft, making them more vulnerable than ever. However, there are several ways to utilize and protect data simultaneously. This document explains the cybersecurity risks that facility management personnel should be aware of. It discusses how these risks have increased in recent years and the potential impacts on users and owners of facilities if data is hacked. Furthermore, cybersecurity experts will provide insights on how to mitigate these risks. It will also clarify what should be required of employees and partners to ensure that BAS and its data are securely protected from hackers, disruptors, and other malicious actors.
