Today's smart buildings have numerous systems and interconnections.

The use of insecure industrial protocols is another vulnerability that attackers take advantage of to disrupt smart buildings operations.

As the cyber-physical equipment within buildings becomes increasingly distributed, especially due to the new trend of supervising building complexes from a central location, cyberattacks on smart buildings, as well as attacks on cities and other smart city infrastructures, can have a significant security impact for users.

Visibility as the key to cybersecurity of smart buildings.

The key element of cybersecurity strategy, especially when it comes to automating smart buildings and adding to the connectivity of any environment, is complete and continuous visibility.

Visibility plays an essential role in upkeeping cybersecurity hygiene in smart buildings, therefore IT, IoT and OT must be seen as one entity.
