Cybersecurity in Building Automation: Effective Defense against Attacks

Building automation systems are increasingly networked with IT solutions; however, processes focused on security against internal and external network attacks are still relatively rare in this field. The reason for this is, largely unprotected systems in building technology meet a complex IT realm.

Intelligent, Secure Building Automation

  • Open, interoperable systems are the basis for energy-efficient building automation strategies.
  • Building technology is coupled with intelligent power supply networks, exposing the building operator to potential network attacks.
  • WAGO has the expertise and technology to incorporate IT infrastructure into building automation from the earliest design phases, and to safeguard it over the long term.

Securely Networked

Thanks to modern building automation, existing structures can be converted to smart buildings at manageable costs – with high energy efficiency and increased comfort. Up-to-date cybersecurity ensures secure building operation.

Smart buildings offer immense energy saving potentials. But how can networking and digitalization be advanced without threatening building operators with potential attacks on their building automation? This is a primary challenge confronting today's building automation suppliers. Cybersecurity also takes top priority at WAGO: All our solutions are protected with up-to-date security technologies, to thwart attacks at the highest level. At the same time, our open, interoperable automation solutions offer you the widest range of options for realizing your energy efficiency projects. Full security – without compromising flexibility – adds up to long-term success for complex building automation projects.
