Hacking Building Controls: Security Risks to Your Cyber and Physical Systems


At the intersection of physical and cyber security, the asymmetric threat has left the building, and the attack surface area has exponentially increased. Both outside and inside the building. The threat surface area, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for attack have exponentially increased, allowing infiltration of "critical ecosystems" (e.g., building control systems), to either perform access or effects attacks. There is no "black box" that can be seamlessly integrated into our customers' ecosystems to solve all their problems. To streamline organizational strategy and mitigate risk effectively, leadership must address all four pillars of risk: physical, technology, people, and process.This presentation will cover the "5 Steps" leaders can use in any size businessto mitigate their cyber risk and the impact on their physical systems, businesses, communities, and people. We'll look at cyber and physical risk strategically and holistically integrated across the enterprise. Planning and preparing proactively with the future in mind provides the process needed so you can push play when an event occurs.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Recognize potential critical systems (e.g., building control systems) that are vulnerable to outside influence.
  2. Describe the five-steps to define your critical assets and manage risk.
  3. Recognize the threats faced, and their potential impact.
  4. Distinguish the different strategies to manage risk to your (cyber and physical systems or to your critical assets).
