Hacking Building Controls For Fun And Profit: Security Risks To Cyber-Physical Systems

Title: Hacking Building Controls For Fun And Profit: Security Risks To Cyber-Physical Systems

Description:

Physical security and other building control systems are core elements of intelligent buildings. They are used to control power, monitor fire and safety, operate elevators, secure workspaces, and control operations, but whereas they used to be stand-alone and proprietary, now they are interconnected, use open protocols, and are finding their way onto networks that can be accessed by individuals anywhere in the world. These systems are increasingly coming under cyber attack, and so unique measures are needed to address this risk. This presentation explores and demonstrates the vulnerabilities that can be exploited and the measures that can be used for defense.
