Johnson Controls, Federal Government Sign Agreement on Cybersecurity
Will help secure our nation’s critical infrastructure from those with malicious intent
MILWAUKEE — In an effort to improve cyber-threat information sharing and analysis, Johnson Controls, a leader in energy efficiency and building controls, announced a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Cybersecurity and Communications. The agreement will help secure our nation’s critical infrastructure from those with malicious intent.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that buildings consume nearly half of all energy produced in the United States. Proper use of building automation systems can greatly reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and increase efficiency. But today’s smart buildings must be secure as well.
