Resilient Cybersecurity Solutions
As Building Management System (BMS) and smart building networks become increasingly integrated with IT infrastructures, devices must manage higher volumes of network traffic while maintaining the integrity of data. Safeguarding operational technology (OT) environments against cyber threats is essential to maintain safety and reliability.
Our new cybersecurity resource page provides best practices for network security, featuring applied product solutions and a directory of support materials.
Contemporary Controls delivers trusted industrial networking and building automation solutions with built-in cybersecurity features. Our products are engineered to support secure communication, remote access, and real-time network diagnostics, while delivering the reliability and resilience required in modern industrial and commercial applications.
Our applied product solutions include BACnet routers and gateways that support HTTPS for secure web access and IP routers that support a range of secure remote access methods, including IP routing, port forwarding, BBMD functionality and VPN implementation.
Our Skorpion IP router models can support OpenVPN® client functionality to deliver flexible and secure VPN options that safeguard systems and ensure continuous operation. Three VPN solutions are available:
- RemoteVPN subscription service - provides secure remote access without the need to maintain your own VPN server.
- Self-HostedVPN and BridgeVPN solutions - allow users to set up and maintain their own secure remote access without subscription fees or reliance on cloud-based servers.
Looking Ahead to BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC)
BACnet/SC introduces a secure communication layer based on IP and TLS protocols. While adoption will take time, many systems will continue to rely on legacy, non-BACnet/SC devices. Contemporary Controls remains committed to supporting secure and reliable access for both modern and legacy systems.
