October 29, 2013 — Lynxspring announced LYNX CyberPRO cyber protection solution for building, facility and energy management systems. LYNX CyberPRO hardens the corporate firewall by removing exposed devices and ports from the public Internet. It reinforces the perimeter defense and creates additional layers of continuous protection and prevention for the devices and systems across a building network by securing, managing, controlling, tracking and monitoring account access and activities. The negative consequences cyber incidents directed at building and energy management systems can cause are disruptive and potentially catastrophic. Such events may impact occupant productivity and personal safety, disrupt critical processes, and shut down business operations entirely. The social implications can be as equally devastating with negative publicity and loss of customer confidence while the financial ramifications may be compounded with lawsuits and equipment replacement and repair. LYNX CyberPRO is non-disruptive, simple to install and operate and does not require any changes or enhancements to existing networks. The solution supports leading building automation protocols using TCP/IP networks, open and legacy systems and can be accessed anywhere without exposing building system devices to the public internet on a full-time basis. LYNX CyberPRO also ensures rapid and reliable remote connectivity while simultaneously reducing attack surfaces. LYNX CyberPRO is scalable and can be deployed within existing buildings or new construction in single and multi-facility environments. For building owners and facility management, LYNX CyberPRO promotes in-depth defense from the enterprise level to the device level. It creates an additional layer of security for building automation and energy management systems without compromising the ability to access them. LYNX CyberPRO also creates trusted-user access to these systems with multifactor authentication and allows authorized users including third-party contractor’s secure remote access to approved devices with auditable access logs. For IT managers, LYNX CyberPRO provides for a secure connection through high encryption and authentication via distinct checkpoints. It reduces the number of devices exposed to the public Internet, creates secure remote access without firewall exceptions or special configurations and restricts device connectivity to authorized devices on the network. For system integrators and service providers, LYNX CyberPRO supports both existing buildings and new construction-single or multi-facilities and creates an additional layer of security for building and energy systems without compromising ability to access them. It also makes it easier to detect and prevent security incidents.
