As society and organizations are becoming more and more dependent on technology for their operation and continuity, securing this technology will be at the very core of the security domain. Both physical and cyber security professionals should not only be concerned with protecting IT infrastructure and information but have to pay special attention to Operational Technology (OT). This category of automation infrastructure contains Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA systems, Process Control Systems (PCS) and IoT. Securing this kind of infrastructure is lagging behind on IT security. What is the difference? What are the specific characteristics of OT and how can we (physically) protect this? Learn all about one of the major risks for our (near) future.

Brains 4 Buildings

Brains 4 Buildings is a multi-year, multi-stakeholder program focused on developing methods to harness big data from smart meters, building management systems and the Internet of Things devices, to reduce energy consumption, increase comfort, respond flexibly to user behaviour and local energy supply and demand, and save on installation maintenance costs. This will be done through the development of faster and more efficient Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence models and algorithms. The project is geared to utility buildings such as commercial and institutional buildings.
