DON'T LET YOUR BUILDING GET HACKED

Cyber threats against smart buildings are on the rise. 38 percent of smart
buildings have been impacted by a cyberattack (source: Kaspersky report). In
most of these events, hackers gained access by taking advantage of
vulnerabilities in the building automation system. The adoption of smart
building technology that connects building Operational Technology to IT systems
and IoT devices has exponentially increased buildings’ exposure to cyber
criminals. It's time to get more security conscious. Building designers, owners,
and operators need to develop strategies that strengthen building automation
system security to avoid getting hacked. Siemens offers holistic solutions with
a key focus on closing gaps in building automation network protocols to
strengthen building cybersecurity.

STEPS TO REINFORCE YOUR BUILDING'S CYBERSECURITY

Understanding a smart building's management systems and security features is an
important step in preventing and mitigating the risks of cyberattacks. With the
proper cybersecurity strategy, products, as well as training you can impove your
building security and be more resilient in the growing landscape of cyber
threats. Flip through to review key steps you can take.



‹›
Slide 4 of 6



UNDERSTAND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND USAGE

Take a holistic approach that considers critical security controls like network
segmentation and segregation, boundary protections, remote access, least
privilege, accountability and firewall rules. Owners and operators should
understand how these security features are applied. Documentation from
integrators and other third-parties should also be required to show what they
have done to ensure systems are configured appropriately to support an overall
building cybersecurity strategy that is aligned with the enterprise architecture
and information security policy framework.



Slide 5 of 6



PROVIDE TRAINING

People are the first line of defense against cyberattacks. Continuous training
will help keep cybersecurity top of mind and prepare anyone who connects to the
building network to follow best practices for preventing malicious access.
Training is also essential to prevent unintentional damage caused by employees
who are unaware of the proper use and operation of systems and equipment.



Slide 6 of 6



IMPLEMENT A DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

Organizations that have a strong backup process are able to mitigate damage and
recover from cyberattacks faster.  A strong plan should address roles and
responsibilities, list assigned personnel and their contact information, and
detail activities associated with responding to and restoring system operations
after a disruption or failure. A recovery plan is only effective if it is
operational, so organizations should periodically exercise these plans to ensure
the system can be recovered within the specified Recovery Time Objective and
Recovery Point Objective.

CREATE A SECURITY CULTURE

Everyone connected to an organization should be accountable for keeping it
secure. Cybercriminals will find and exploit any potential attack point in a
building system’s defense. Companies that create a culture of cybersecurity
awareness, with strong policies that promote best practices and continual
security training, can effectively reduce their risk of a cyberattack.

Slide 3 of 6



THINK LIKE A HACKER

The best defense against cyberattacks is a good offense. A threat and risk
assessment that approaches cybersecurity from a hacker’s perspective is a useful
tool to identify and resolve vulnerabilities, and help organizations stay one
step ahead of cybercriminals. Staging a mock attack against the building
security infrastructure, or partnering with Siemens to perform a cybersecurity
assessment, will uncover and verify potential access paths and provide proof
points to justify additional security infrastructure investments.

CONVERGING IT AND OT FOR SMARTER BUILDINGS

Slide 1 of 1



The convergence of technologies is not a new concept, but it is evolving and
making its way through the technology stack. Advances in technology enable the
digital information environment to monitor, analyze, and influence the physical
operational environment. Historically, IT and OT have occupied entirely separate
domains and shared little or no meaningful data or control. Even though they
both use IP connected equipment, IT and OT devices do not behave exactly the
same on the network. More than ever before, successful business outcomes and
environmental objectives depend on the convergence of IT and OT, and the demand
for “smarter buildings” is bringing the two domains together

THE NEW STANDARD IN CYBERSECURITY – BACNET SECURE CONNECT

BACnet, the leading building automation protocol, has released a new data link,
BACnet/SC, as part of the standard. BACnet/SC brings cybersecurity and IT
acceptance to Operational Technology (OT) networks. It adds an encryption layer
to communication and requires device authentication using certificates, which
makes OT networks less vulnerable to cyberattacks.
