Brings zero trust cybersecurity to connected buildings worldwide
CORK, Ireland — Johnson Controls acquired zero trust cybersecurity provider, Tempered Networks, based in Seattle, Washington. Tempered Networks has created "Airwall" technology, an advanced self-defense system for buildings that enables secure network access across diverse groups of endpoint devices, edge gateways, cloud platforms and service technicians. It represents a step-change in operational technology built on secure transmission pipelines to ensure buildings data exchanges and service actions can only take place between people and devices that are continuously authenticated.
The acquisition gives Johnson Controls the capability to provide zero trust security within the fabric of its OpenBlue secure communications stack, advancing its vision of enabling fully autonomous buildings that are inherently resilient to cyberattack.
