What is BMS Security?

BMS security refers to the protection of Building Management Systems (BMS), which control and monitor a building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems. Securing a BMS involves implementing measures to prevent unauthorized access, cyber-attacks, and operational disruptions. This is important because a compromised BMS can lead to safety risks, data breaches, or even physical damage to a building. Effective BMS security includes network segmentation, regular software updates, access control, and continuous monitoring.
