Forescout research recently uncovered several dangerous vulnerabilities in popular building automation devices. This is particularly alarming because these discovered vulnerabilities prove that various controllers and Building Automation Systems (BAS) used for physical access control in hospitals, schools and airports are open to coordinated attack. While malware targeting BAS has not been widely reported yet, the Forescout team strongly expects to see an uptick in attacks, and has used this research to drive our solution innovation. In this session, Daniel will share the specifics of our research, cover the anatomy of a typical BAS cyber attack and detail what we’re doing at Forescout to ensure coordinated and scalable solutions that identify and thwart threats to BAS systems.
