Threat Perspective

## Cyber Threats to Building Automation Systems

Building automation systems control HVAC, building access, and other essential facility functions. They are part of the broader extended operational technology (xOT) environment, where cyber incidents can disrupt the physical systems organizations depend on.

The Dragos Building Automation Systems Cyber Threat Perspective examines ransomware, disruptive attacks, and espionage risks to these systems. Learn how IT connections, vendor access, and exposed devices create pathways for adversaries, and how to apply critical controls to protect building operations.

### Inside the report

- Ransomware and disruption risks to building operations
- IT connections and vendor access pathways
- Exposed devices and unpatched systems
- Five critical controls to strengthen OT cybersecurity
