Cybersecurity for Building Controls
Securing the Internet of Things™
Buildings are Becoming Smarter and More Connected…
…Increasing Exposure
and Security Risks:
• Building Operations
• Occupant Safety
• Data Loss, Ransomware
• Financial Liability
• Reputation
Securing the Internet of Things™
Protocol Security Challenges
BACnet/Modbus protocols originally developed without security
Device-to-device messages are inherently unsecure
Anyone that gets in or plugs in to the network can:
• Can discovery network devices
• Watch and record all traffic
• See message types and details
• Inject commands
Securing the Internet of Things™
• Cybersecurity “In a Box”
• Protects Devices at the Edge
• NIST Zero Trust Compliant
• Stops Cyber Attacks on OT
Networks, Buildings and Critical

Installation Benefits
System-driven approach improves speed of
implementation and eliminates opportunities
for errors (e.g. automated certificates)
DOME Mobile App makes device registration
a simple “point-and-click” process
Simplicity means no IT/Cyber expertise is
needed – installation by existing technicians
