[Introduction example] SB Technology introduces the cyber security service “Smart Secure Service” to Takenaka Corporation Group’s new office building

SB Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Chikaichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) announced the opening of Takenaka Central Building South, a new office building of the Takenaka Corporation Group, which opened on October 3, 2022. , we will support the introduction of the cyber security countermeasure service "Smart Secure Service" for office buildings and the introduction of the data processing platform, which is a function of the cloud-based building OS "Bilcomi🄬" that facilitates data linkage. I did.

　

Background to the introduction of the Smart Secure Service
In recent years, BA (building automation) systems have become connected to systems inside and outside the building, such as building lighting and air conditioning, as well as IoT devices, increasing the efficiency and energy efficiency of building management, but also increasing the risk of cyberattacks. Conventional BA security measures for office buildings are mainly limited to protecting against threats from outside the building, and measures based on the premise of unauthorized intrusion from inside and virus infection such as malware are not always sufficient.
Against this backdrop, SBT, together with Japan Electric Corporation (hereinafter referred to as NEC), Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CTJ), and Takenaka Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Takenaka Corporation"), has conducted a demonstration experiment*1 on the usefulness of cybersecurity measures using "Smart Secure Service" in a building owned by Takenaka Corporation. We have demonstrated that strong security performance can be demonstrated even against unauthorized intrusion and virus infection. In response to these results, we have decided to introduce "Smart Secure Service" at Takenaka Central Building South.
Takenaka Central Building South has incorporated various solution technologies related to building decarbonization and operation management into its BA systems, and the "Smart Secure Service" has been put into actual operation as a cybersecurity measure for these BA systems.

■“Smart Secure Service” provided by Takenaka Corporation
A network relay IoT-GW device*2 is implemented in the BA system of Takenaka Central Building South to detect, prevent, and permit unauthorized access from inside and outside, malfunctions caused by IoT-GW devices, program/data tampering, virus contamination, etc. It suppresses application launches that have not been started and uses machine learning to detect abnormal communications. We have also established a network operation center (NOC) that performs constant monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can quickly respond when an attack is detected. By taking charge of everything from security construction to operation and monitoring, we realize secure data exchange and provide long-term support for security measures tailored to the life cycle of building equipment.

　

■About the development of data processing platform in Billcomi®
Along with the introduction of "Smart Secure Service," we provided support for the introduction of the data processing platform, which is a function of "Bilcomi🄬." Billcomi® is a cloud-based data platform that uses open communication standards. Big data obtained through building equipment systems and various sensors can be handled efficiently and securely.
At Takenaka Central Building South, it has been installed together with Buildingcomi Plus, a solution package that includes an IoT sensor network, application menu, etc., and is used as a building OS to improve the operational performance of building equipment and IoT systems. I am. Additionally, by taking advantage of the benefits of the cloud, it is possible to change from a separate system management system for each building to a common data platform that can manage multiple buildings.

■About the future
Takenaka Central Building South is scheduled to continue to be equipped with various cutting-edge technologies to help make it a smart building. SBT will provide further support for BA system security measures through "Smart Secure Service," and plans to collaborate with the Security Monitoring Center (SBT-SOC), which will be monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by security analysts. Masu. In addition, we plan to introduce the system to new and existing buildings designed and constructed by Takenaka Corporation.
