IT security
Building automation and control systems such as Desigo are increasingly integrated into a building's IT infrastructure and will often also be remotely accessible. Besides using the IT security features of the various products, it's very important to implement an IT secure integration into the site's IT infrastructure. For guidelines for such an IT secure integration, see Desigo Cybersecurity Guidelines Application Guide (A6V14142297). These guidelines are binding and must be implemented in every Desigo project.
Furthermore, the usual rules and best practice procedures from the IT world must also be observed to achieve a high protection level for the building automation and control system and the customer's IT infrastructure.
