Building System Cybersecurity

Specialization: We focus on cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) systems, such as HVAC, BAS, lighting and elevators, that IT departments are often unequipped to handle. Our solutions are tailored for both public and private sectors, offering robust redundancy, reliability and flexibility. We support a range of infrastructure, from state-of-the-art commercial headquarters to complex military installations, to sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) and more. Engaging with our cybersecurity experts is an investment in your success. Together, we can create innovative solutions that solve cyber concerns today and into the future.

Expertise: Our cybersecurity team boasts decades of experience and holds numerous certifications, ensuring top-notch protection for your digital assets. We safeguard your operations and instill confidence among investors, tenants and stakeholders. By promoting robust security protocols, we boost industry resilience against cyber risks and enhance overall competitiveness. Our proactive approach to cybersecurity ensures that your systems stay ahead of evolving threats and comply with regulatory requirements, providing a secure foundation for sustainable growth and development in today's digital landscape.

Solutions: We offer a full-spectrum cybersecurity service designed to enhance the security of your OT. Our approach includes a thorough analysis of your current cybersecurity posture, the promotion of cyber best practices and the validation of these practices through cyber commissioning. Whether you need a comprehensive solution or targeted support, we tailor our services to address your specific needs to provide operational resilience.
