Introducing a new approach to
cybersecurity.
ABOUT
In today’s digital age, major commercial property owners must be ready to take on a critical challenge: securing their building’s assets from any potential cybersecurity threats.
This effort becomes even more complex as an increasing number of PropTech vendors and products must be connected directly to your building’s operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) networks on a day-to-day basis. Effectively vetting vendor and products before connecting them to building networks is a necessary step in maintaining and enhancing cybersecurity.
With all this in mind, the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and its Cybersecurity Committee have partnered with the Global Cyber Consortium (GCC) to create a new resource that will help commercial building owners to develop consistent and effective cybersecurity standards for protecting their assets.
​
REQUEST ACCESS
Determining cybersecurity vulnerability often comes down to asking the right questions. That’s why this new resource was developed as a set of comprehensive questionnaires designed to address the different issues associated with incorporating new PropTech solutions into existing building networks or evaluating current systems deployed within building networks.
​
There are two questionnaires to address the nuances of each perspective:
-
Product/Vendor - Existing
-
Product/Vendor - New
Each questionnaire is divided into 12 distinct categories that will help uncover potential vulnerabilities:
-
General Company Information
-
Physical Security
-
Network Topology
-
Data Center
-
Vulnerability Management
-
Data Storage
-
Authentication & Administration
-
Remote Access & Mobility
-
System Endpoint
-
Policies, Protocols, & Procedures
-
Business Continuity Planning
-
Training & Development
