CSA Group Cyber and HVAC Systems

With increased connectivity, commercial and residential home management has improved leaps and bounds, especially for HVACR systems. The benefits provided by the Internet of Things (IoT), including boosted performance and autonomy, is why the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) predicts that there will be more than 70 billion IoT-connected devices by 2025, with an estimated 18 billion devices shipped each year. The challenge with the increased adoption of connected HVACR systems is mitigating the higher risk of a cyber-attack.

In our white paper, we explore:

  • Common threats and security gaps
  • The three key principles of product security
  • Practical insights on how to incorporate security principles into product design
  • How third-party testing and certification can help enhance security across the product lifecycle
