In the recent past, there have been a lot of stories of companies succumbing to IT cybersecurity threats. Property owners are incorporating and relying on smart building technologies more and more, and it has become even more important to think about cyberthreat prevention. It can seem like a daunting task to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities. This article is going to help owners know more about cybersecurity and protecting equipment, occupants, and data from threats – both immanent and known.
Consolidating remote access
Most buildings tend to have multiple air-gapped networks. Most of the networks are physically disparate – this means that transmitting data from one network to another is impossible – an independent remote access entry point is needed and this can be done via remote access connectivity, like a virtual private network (VPN). This leads to remote access policies that are different when you look at it from a cybersecurity standpoint.
Securing network zones
Even when you consolidate air-gapped networks, different IT/OT systems tend to remain segregated so as to restrict lateral movement if a breach happens and improve cybersecurity control. Most IP networks today come with Layer 4 to Layer 7 firewalls. This is good because they identify the type of traffic from each of the pockets. The firewalls can be used when creating logical security zones to restrict Interzone communication. This is going to help in lowering cybersecurity risk because it limits the ability of the hacker to move around within your network. There is less movement to make, which lessens the chase.
Monitoring cyberthreats
It is important to have visibility into the endpoints and sensors communicating because it makes it easy for you when it comes to ..
