One of the most overlook industrial security risk is HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning.)
Everything from data centers, substations and commercial offices are controlled by BACnet, Modbus, DNP3 and several other protocols. At Secure Crossing our inline protocol filtering appliances can stop these attacks by disallowing any bad communications on your endpoints. Traditional Intrusion Prevention Systems use signature based products and these are useless as they suffer from false positives. Not only do you want to protect the switch gear in your substation, you want to protect the heating and cooling as well as, door locks and camera controls! News flash these use BACnet and DNP3.
A great scenario, turn off you elevators, lock the doors and turn the heat up to 90 in your server room and offices – see how long your business continues to function!
Many of these systems are centralized and controlled, you guessed it, over the internet!
