Cybersecurity in Building Automation Systems (BAS)

February 15, 2019

The buildings that we live and work in are getting smarter and more connected. As we speak, the scenes we have only watched in sci-fi movies are becoming a reality, beginning with our homes and offices transforming into “smart buildings”. Only a few years ago, buildings offered very basic services. They had a central building management system (BMS) and one or two sub-systems, isolated from each other, typically used to control heating and air conditioning, the elevator or lighting systems. The control implemented by the BMS included simply switching the right equipment on or off at the right time of the day or year.

The Ransomware Threat

whitePaper | December 22, 2022

Ransomware continues to be among the most critical risks facing organizations of all sizes. Attackers have perfected techniques and business models that will pose a challenge to even the best prepared organizations. While the encryption of a high volume of computers on a network can potentially be mitigated by adequate backups, ransomware actors have discovered new avenues of extortion, such as threatening to release data stolen prior to encryption. While ransomware attacks are time consuming to perform, ransomware actors have managed to achieve scale through the introduction of “ransomware-as-a-service” operations, renting out their tools and infrastructure to other attackers in exchange for a cut of the profits.

State Of Zero Trust in The Enterprise:Shift To Identity-Powered Security

whitePaper | October 27, 2022

Cybersecurity has changed. The attack surface has expanded, thanks to the rapid adoption of cloud applications and services, shift to remote work, and proliferation of mobile devices. Having enterprise systems, applications, and data in one location and relying on layers of security tools and controls to keep attackers out, is no longer sufficient when the bulk of data and workloads now live outside the traditional network. Attackers are also increasingly targeting credentials to appear as legitimate users.
