While smart buildings focus on the ideas of connectivity and interactivity, new interfaces dramatically increase access points, provide gateways to sensitive data, and create new vulnerabilities for building automation systems. In addition, the proliferation of IoT-enabled devices and third-party entities has expanded the attack surface, compounding the security issue by making threat detection less direct and more difficult to remediate. "Cybersecurity issues are expected to grow in parallel with the digital transformation of real estate through smart building technologies," says Casey Talon, research director at Navigant Research. "The convergence of information/operational technology (IT/OT) is a necessity for the successful deployment and use of intelligent building solutions, but in many customer organizations, these business units act in isolation. This creates gaps in human capital skill sets, resulting in infrastructure and processes that may be vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches." Navigant Research recommends that smart building stakeholders take a proactive approach to cybersecurity threats by determining vulnerabilities and attack vectors and educating the company. Stakeholders must take a layered approach to cybersecurity, in addition to building an alliance against cyber threats and continuing to strengthen their line of defense. ![Duván Chaverra Agudelo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/stories/VDS/Editorialonline.jpg) Duván Chaverra AgudeloEmail: dchaverra@latinpressinc.com Editor Jefe Jefe Editorial en Latin Press, Inc,.
