Project Overview

 

The project involved providing extended MSI services for a newly developed smart building and office space located in central London. The project encompassed a sprawling 1 million square feet area designed to accommodate up to 7,000 users. The task was to create a state-of-the-art environment that leveraged advanced technology for enhanced efficiency, security, and user experience.

 

Services Provided

 

The scope of services included the design and construction of a comprehensive building systems network and a virtualised server environment. Intricate integrations between all deployed systems was also required. Following the project's successful completion in 2019, continued, ongoing support has been critical, ensuring the infrastructure remains cutting-edge and fully operational.

 

Cyber Security Measures

 

Prior to the acquisition of any technological products, rigorous cybersecurity testing on all potential systems was conducted. This proactive approach allowed helped to identify and select the most secure technologies available, minimising security threats and reducing potential attack vectors. During cybersecurity evaluations, multiple issues were identified.This required collaborating closely with system installers and manufacturers to address these vulnerabilities, leading to several critical updates and repeated testing for each product to ensure robust security measures were in place.

 

Risk Mitigation Strategies

 

To manage risks effectively while solutions were being developed, strategic procedures were implemented, that ensured continuity and security during the integration phase. These strategies were crucial in maintaining system integrity and functionality as the complexities of building a secure smart building network were navigated.

 

Ongoing Enhancements and Security Library

 

As part of our commitment to maintaining high security standards, we have developed a library of products that meet a minimum security criterion. This library aids in device selection for future expansions or replacements and serves as a resource for maintaining security across the network. Our continuous efforts to mitigate cybersecurity risks are driven by a commitment to ensure the safety and reliability of the smart building infrastructure.

 

Conclusion

​

The central London smart building project stands as a testament to expertise in managing large-scale infrastructure projects with a keen focus on sustainability, security and advanced technological integration. By implementing thorough cybersecurity measures and maintaining an ongoing support system, its ensured that the building remains a safe, efficient, and modern space for all users. This case study exemplifies the approach to delivering comprehensive solutions that meet the demands of contemporary urban development while addressing the critical need for cybersecurity in today's connected environments
