🔒Cybersecurity & Trust: Safeguarding Sustainable Operations🔒 October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, and Optimum Energy is shining a light on the critical connection between trust and cybersecurity in building operations. As technology becomes more integrated into facility management, ensuring the security of Building Management Systems (BMS) is essential to delivering sustainable, efficient outcomes. From HVAC systems to IoT devices, vulnerabilities in modern buildings can expose organizations to cyberattacks. Protecting these systems means more than just installing firewalls—building strong relationships with service providers and prioritizing security. At Optimum Energy, our SOC2 Type 1 certification highlights our commitment to safeguarding our clients' data and operations. Facilities managers, security officers, and executives must work hand-in-hand with trusted providers to implement risk assessments, strong access controls, encryption, and continuous monitoring to secure their building systems. Get the complete insights here ▶️https://hubs.li/Q02TS48G0 At Optimum Energy, we go beyond optimization—providing peace of mind by ensuring security is built into every solution we offer. Protect your assets, occupants, and data by staying ahead of potential threats with a proactive approach to cybersecurity. #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth #BuildingOptimization #SustainableSolutions #EnergyEfficiency #OptimumEnergy #DataProtection #TrustAndSecurity"
