No one can deny we are seeing unprecedented levels of cyberattacks across all industries and sectors. From IT enterprises, to operational technology and healthcare, there is no reason why building automation should be left out of the discussion.

With such a fragmented sector with so many vendors and contractors working within one environment and with connectivity increasing, it only makes sense buildings are potential low hanging fruit for would be attackers.
