This award from Frost & Sullivan highlights the growing importance that Radiflow is playing in providing cyber security protection for smart building operations as dramatically increasing numbers of industrial IoT devices are deployed for building automation systems and smart applications that control building operations, such as elevators, lighting and HVAC systems. Radiflow has been selected for this award for allowing smart building operators to better manage cyber security risks with a unique combination of superior technology and attractive partnerships with Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).

“Radiflow correctly recognises building automation security as a promising growth opportunity and has developed specific use cases for its superior technology for this segment,” explained Swetha R K, Senior Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Radiflow has already won substantial business for securing building management system networks and is expecting to significantly accelerate growth in this vertical with its win-win partnerships with MSSPs.”

Protecting smart buildings is one of the many growing use cases for Radiflow’s ISID Industrial Threat Detection System, which also includes industrial automation networks and critical infrastructure. ISID builds a network topology map on an OT network and continuously monitors for any changes to this baseline understanding. For a smart building operator, ISID can detect in real-time policy violations of the various maintenance teams and third party suppliers that need to access its OT network.

“Many smart building operators lack the internal expertise and bandwidth to internally address OT-specific cybersecurity issues and are increasingly preferring to utilise managed security services from MSSPs to protect both their IT and OT networks,” continued Swetha R K. “Radiflow has recognised this shifting market trend and has proactively taken steps towards implementing an attractive partnership-based strategy with MSSPs.”
