Any system connected to the internet is at risk — including a building automation system (BAS), according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.
It is common for organizations to purchase (or create) a BAS, implement the solution, and then more or less forget about it.
This mentality can create an environment where network security needs are not addressed. An intrusion into a BAS can lead to compromised building security.
There are three core points of cybersecurity that facility managers should pay attention to.
- Define required levels of security
- Engage IT personnel
- Develop appropriate policies and procedures
