Eaton outlines plan to tackle cyber attacks on FM sector
DUBAI, 23 days ago Eaton, a global leader with expertise in power distribution, circuit protection, energy storage and automation, has released a new whitepaper titled The importance of life cycle cybersecurity in mission critical power infrastructure . It puts the spotlight on cyber attacks on the built environment and facilities management (FM) facilities and IT firms. The whitepaper explains how components such as switchgear, automatic transfer switches (ATS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), transformers, breakers, and protective devices - together with the programmable logic controllers (PLC) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) switches, routers, and firewalls used to integrate them into an operational technology (OT) control and monitoring network - can form an attack surface from which cybercriminals can gain access to a business and interact illicitly with its systems.
