BMS systems can now be found controlling, monitoring and securing Data centers, and other sensitive data storage sites worldwide. As Date Center specific companies grow their footprints around the US, so does the use of Smart Building Management systems. The BMS system industry is expected to rise to the occasion of not only maintaining optimal environmental conditions, but also provide security from cyber threats via vigilant monitoring of the BMS system environments. 
 

A greater level of visibility into the data center environment allows organizations to make better-informed decisions related to resource utilization, environmental control and compliance. BMS systems can be used to monitor temperature, humidity and energy usage and give businesses valuable insights into their operations that can be used for predictive analysis and cost savings. Additionally, BMS System software can also ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards. With the right BMS Systems Partner, organizations can optimize their data center operations and maximize efficiency.
 

Integrating BMS Systems with Industrial Control Systems software is a powerful way for organizations to gain additional capabilities for their data center environments, and optimize their operations. With BMS Systems now being implemented increasingly at Data Centers, they bring with it the potential for cyber threats. While the initial BMS systems were for heating and cooling, today a huge range of smart devices is being leveraged to increase worker productivity, reduce operational costs, and secure businesses from cyber threats. Given the BMS-specific protocols and the variety and multitudes of devices involved, the challenges of smart building security need to be addressed directly with security solutions designed specifically for those challenges.
 

To meet the security challenges of BMS networks, it is essential to have security systems that can discover every single device on a network, detect any rogue devices, and detect activities that can endanger the operational stability of these critical devices. 
 

It makes it even more challenging when selecting a BMS provider that has the ability to bridge the gap between BMS and ICS systems seamlessly.
