Protecting Building Automation Systems from Hackers

With the growth in demand for smart homes and building automation in Australia, more functions are being controlled by networked intelligent control systems.

Security is always a critical concern for homeowners and building occupiers. 

Unsecured systems are vulnerable to attack by malicious hackers, threatening your user’s personal data and property.   

Hacking incidents could be prevented by simply using the right hardware in the installation. 
  
KNX provides a solution to this smart building security challenge.  

MEAN WELL offers several KNX products with KNX Data Secure, such as the KAA-8R-S and KAA-4R4V-S actuators.
