PART 1

 THE ROADMAP TO A FULLY SECURE BACnet SYSTEM

 As BAS rapidly becomes integrated with IT, the need to provide a holistic approach to cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important to BAS vendors, installers, specifiers, IT departments and building owners/operators. The industry’s broad and global adoption of BACnet provides us an opportunity to leverage this ASHRAE standard as the mechanism to fully secure our devices, services and applications using the best practices and technologies from the IT industry. This talk provides the roadmap to ensure that all BACnet systems have the best possible security measure.

 THE IMPORTANCE OF FULLY ADOPTING IT INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGIES AND BEST PRACTICES

 As control and IT networks continue to converge in commercial buildings, it is vital for the BAS industry to fully adopt the technologies and best practices that IT and Cybersecurity organizations have developed over the years. Adapting to this new reality is by far the best and most efficient way to deliver secure automation systems in buildings to meet and exceed the cybersecurity demands of enterprises of tomorrow. This presentation provides the landscape of IT technologies and practices important for BAS professionals to know in order to embark on secure automation projects.

PART 3

 PLANNING FOR AND DESIGNING CYBERSECURE BACnet PROJECTS

 As with any new technology BACnet/SC will take a few years before most of the control and IT networks adopt it. Adapting this new technology will have its challenges but the rewards and benefits will outweigh the pain. The main benefit and what comes after that will enable the BAS community to have secure automation systems in buildings. This presentation shares the interesting questions that many may not be thought of yet, and design best practices that all of us in the BAS community will need to learn and come up with best practices to embark on secure projects.
