ConnectedFM: Defending Operational Technology in Commercial Buildings
Facility managers must be vigilant and proactive in their approach to cybersecurity in order to adapt as cyber threats evolve. ESFM Senior Vice President, Technology Chris Lilly underscored the need for operational collaboration to effectively combat cyber threats in a recent article on the International Facility Management Association’s (IFMA’s) ConnectedFM blog.
“Within our organization it’s important that we break down the silos between departments, bringing together those who support information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), physical security and the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). It’s also critical that we include our clients in these conversations to share best practices and recommending solutions where gaps have been discovered,” Lilly said.
