White paper: Building X - Cybersecurity

Building X™️ is a suite of AI-enabled and open-platform applications that supports your journey towards smart buildings by increasing sustainability, optimizing performance, and enabling a best-in-class user experience. Building X️ provides secure connectivity and breaks the data silos.

Making data accessible to all stakeholders involved under one user interface, comprising all domains and aspects of building operations and management, and replacing numerous island solutions in an easy and productive way, is bringing you closer to your business goals.

The fact that Building X️ combines the physical and digital worlds in a single source of truth makes cybersecurity an important element for trustworthiness of our solution. "Attacks always get better; they never get worse." At Siemens we believe it is important to look at cybersecurity holistically and proactively throughout the whole lifecycle of our products, solutions and services, to stay ahead of cyber-attacks.

This paper explores Siemens’ commitment to a more comprehensive security. It explains how Building X️ achieves security by design and default, and how it is deployed and operated complying with the cybersecurity standards and best practices for industrial automation and control systems.
