Abstract
Methods and systems for performing an electronic security assessment of a building automation system are provided. The building automation system includes a controller and a network of electronic devices connected in electronic communication. The method includes requesting, by the controller, an electronic security scan of the controller with a data set of the controller via a secured channel to a cloud-based service. The method also includes initiating the electronic security scan of the controller based on the data set of the controller. The method further includes electronically assessing security vulnerabilities of the building automation system. The method also includes electronically assessing, by the controller, security vulnerabilities of the network of electronic devices connected in electronic communication with the controller. Also the method includes determining a recommendation list for resolving security vulnerabilities of the building automation system based on the electronically assessing security vulnerabilities.
