Cybersecurity – Not just the tenants problem.
IoT and Smart Building technologies are coming and they’re moving at the speed of light! Enabling the future for both Residential and Commercial Real Estate Buildings is critical. Tenants are making Cybersecurity a priority so why are the majority of properties leaving their critical building Systems unprotected? It’s not just a question of when a breach might happen it is a question of when and how many.
It is alarming how many vendor networks that buildings currently have and how many upgrades/new vendor networks will be deployed in the future. One thing in common, each network will require internet connectivity carrying their own Security risks creating multiple vulnerabilities.
Today’s new construction buildings are built with Connectivity and enabling next generation technologies as a priority. Why are most existing buildings not preparing to compete? Existing buildings have to deal with legacy vendors and networks needing expensive upgrades every few years. Take control of this costly cycle with a Smart Backbone. SECURE, SIMPLIFY, SAVE.
How many networks does your Building have and what is their level of Security? A few common existing networks buildings have today:
- Access Control
- AV
- BAS
- Wi-Fi
- Cameras
- Cards
- HVAC
- Captivate
- Conference Rooms
- Elevators
- Engineering
- Fitness Room
- Guest Wireless
- Lighting Controls
- Occupancy / Load Calc
- Power Monitoring
- Security
- Digital Signage
- Trash Compactor
- Water Conditioning
- Watchmen Reporting
- Many more……
Before buildings start considering Li-Fi, big data of all the buildings systems, Smart Hubs and the Intelligence of Everything from dozens of new vendors, they need to assess the Security of ALL their vendors and networks present and future. Smart Homes can be accomplished through a single vendor, how many dozens of vendors will it take to make it a true Smart Building?
By consolidating the infrastructure upon which your building systems operate, a Smart Backbone enables complete control over your building’s technology and Secures all your vendors.
Nothing matters more than the security of your buildings and safety of your tenants. One high security edge network streamlines multiple vendor networks and eliminates multiple points of vulnerability. A secure network and 24/7/365 monitoring provide intrusion prevention, detection and recovery services. Features include: remote monitoring, automated alerts and mobile access—delivering unmatched convenience and security. A Smart backbone is IaaS and SaaS.
Smart Backbone:
Gives a complete building systems status overview in a single interface that can be accessed anytime, anywhere on any device.
An advanced inventory system that tracks items to specific locations within the building in real time.
An easy to use web interface to grant vendor access and approval of additions, moves and changes.
