Overview Smart building technology and automation are shaping the future of our cities and infrastructure, driven by the need for energy-efficient buildings, adoption of IoT platforms, growing demand for integrated security systems, and government initiatives. By integrating these smart systems, such as Building Automation Control networks (BACnet), across the organization, businesses are reducing their costs through increased operational efficiency while streamlining business processes across IT, maintenance, facilities, distribution, and more. Tempered Networks makes it easier than ever before to securely connect, segment, and manage building automation systems across hybrid cloud and data center environments.

INDUSTRY BRIEF | Building Management Systems
System Availability and Security Are at Risk The common denominator for many of these building automation systems, industrial control systems (ICS), and associated devices, such as HVAC systems, lighting, sensors, and IP cameras, is inherent vulnerability. They are often the weakest link running on a shared network and broaden the attack surface, which introduces more risk to the organization. How? Attackers can penetrate vulnerable systems and move laterally within the network until finding valuable IP resources that when compromised could impact reliability and availability of systems, leading to service interruption, safety issues, and financial loss for the company. It’s also common to experience issues caused by broadcast storms that can cripple network performance. BACnet systems often create issues on IP networks due to high signal-to-noise ratios and interference that can disrupt other IP traffic on the network. These ‘BACnet storms’ can happen without warning and cause major problems for IT and network administrators, like disrupting critical services. Good news: there is a simple, cost-effective solution.
Radical Security, High Availability and Improved Network Performance Tempered Networks’ Identity-Defined Networking (IDN) solution offers organizations a smarter, more efficient way to connect, segment, and manage building automation system deployments. With no changes to the underlying infrastructure, customers can easily isolate BACnet traffic, for example, with hardened microsegmentation with point-and-click orchestration. The solution was purpose-built to be simple to use so anyone can deploy and manage these systems.
“Tempered Networks gave us a simple way to achieve end-to-end private networking for our Building Automation network that’s resilient, scalable, and secure. In less than 20 minutes, we were able to deploy our first cloaked overlay network without having to modify the underlay or involve IT.” Tom Walker
