"Texas College to Improve Cybersecurity of Smart Buildings"

The Texas A&M College of Engineering received $3.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a project aimed at improving the cybersecurity and energy efficiency of smart buildings. Texas A&M will partner with Drexel University, Arizona State University, Pacific Northwestern National Laboratory, Northwestern University, and more, on the project. Researchers will develop a cyber-defense and resilient system (CYDRES) that can identify cyber threats in real-time and immediately defend against malicious network activity. This article continues to discuss the goal and development of CYDRES, and how current building automation systems (BAS) leave smart buildings vulnerable to cyberattacks.
