Cybersecurity for Building Automation Systems (BAS): Securing the Future
Summary: Building automation systems that control HVAC, lighting, security, and access control in smart buildings are increasingly connected, and the Dragos blog post states that this integration introduces vulnerabilities malicious actors can exploit. The post recommends conducting a crown jewel analysis of BAS environments to identify the physical and logical assets, data, and communication and control interfaces required for primary system function.
Bottom line: The same BAS networks that run HVAC, lighting, and access control are now reachable by malicious actors, and the post's answer is to first map which devices and interfaces are required for primary system function - a step that determines where vulnerability management, incident response, and detection get prioritized.
