BACNET SECURE CONNECT

Enterprise‑grade cybersecurity for modern building automation systems
BACnet® Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) enhances the WebCTRL® Building Automation System by adding encrypted, authenticated communications that protect building automation networks from modern cyber threats—without sacrificing performance or usability.

BACNET SECURE CONNECT

Connected systems offer powerful advantages but also come with additional security concerns. That’s why one of our top priorities has always been to ensure the security of our controls and automation systems in order to reduce the burden on our customers and give them greater peace of mind.
Automated Logic is committed to the security of our building automation and controls. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in one of our products, please let us know.

BACNET SECURE CONNECT

Easy Deployment – On‑Premises

If your WebCTRL® building automation server is located on‑premises, BACnet Secure Connect can be enabled by adding a BACnet Secure Connect Hub, a BACnet Secure Connect Router, and WebCTRL v8 software. This allows secure communications while preserving existing system functionality.

Easy to Deploy – Cloud

For systems using WebCTRL Cloud, WebCTRL v8 software and a BACnet Secure Connect Hub are already included with the subscription. A BACnet Secure Connect Router is installed on‑site to route communications between BACnet Secure Connect and existing BACnet/IP, BACnet ARCnet, or BACnet MS/TP networks.

Simple Device Authentication

BACnet devices must be authenticated before joining a BACnet Secure Connect network. Once authenticated, secure communications are established and the WebCTRL® BACnet Secure Connect system operates just like a standard WebCTRL® system.

Solutions for New & Existing Systems

BACnet Secure Connect solutions can be added to new or existing WebCTRL® systems, whether deployed on‑premises or in the cloud, allowing organizations to enhance network security without replacing existing infrastructure.

Protocol Standard

BACnet® Secure Connect operates using the BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) protocol, which is defined as an official addendum to the BACnet standard.

Security Method

The system secures all communications using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, ensuring that data exchanged between BACnet devices is protected against unauthorized access.

Device Authentication

All BACnet devices must complete device‑level authentication before joining the BACnet Secure Connect network, ensuring that only trusted devices are permitted to communicate.

System Architecture

BACnet Secure Connect uses a hub‑and‑spoke architecture, providing a centralized and secure communication model for building automation networks.
