The gap between cybersecurity strategy and field-level execution in smart buildings
The situation this course is for
Organizations have strong risk assessments but struggle to implement consistent, auditable controls across distributed building systems. Legacy approaches don't scale with IoT expansion, creating friction between security teams and operations.
Who this is for
Technology and business professionals responsible for securing, managing, or governing smart building systems, including cybersecurity leads, facilities engineers, risk officers, and IT architects.
Who this is not for
This is not for entry-level learners or those seeking vendor-specific product training. It assumes prior knowledge of smart building architecture and foundational risk principles.
What you walk away with
- Translate cybersecurity blueprints into field-deployable control sets
- Design role-based access models for converged IT/OT environments
- Implement zero-trust principles at the sensor and edge layer
- Automate compliance reporting for NIST, ISO, and CMMC frameworks
- Integrate threat modeling into building lifecycle management
