"A look at BACnet on the Public Internet" - Alex had an ongoing project tracking the BACnet systems on the public internet since July 2018. He will talk about why this is a bad idea, who is currently scanning for these systems, how many are exposed and what he has seen on his own honeypot.
Dave Gallagher and
George West from Albireo Energy
Topic: "Utilizing BACnet as the Integration Platform for Connecting HVAC Controls to a SCADA system" - Albireo Energy has been deeply focused on providing HVAC controls in validated manufacturing and research facilities. Customers in these environments like to use SCADA systems both for process automation and HVAC automation and monitoring. In order to help these customers achieve their goal of leveraging their SCADA system HMI, while managing the total system costs, Albireo Energy has developed deep expertise in using BACnet to seamlessly combine these two types of systems. Dave Gallagher and George West from Albireo Energy will share the obstacles that they had to overcome as well as the benefits that this approach presents.
