About the Cybersecurity Acceleration Program
BACnet International would like to invite you to the next phase of BACnet cybersecurity, the Cybersecurity Acceleration Program. Designed for manufacturers, the Cybersecurity Acceleration Program aims to reduce their cybersecurity implementation learning curve and align their product development with industry direction on interoperability and best practices.
Interoperable Security Management #1, the first webinar of the Cybersecurity Acceleration Program, is FREE on YouTube for all interested parties, however, future webinars and program tools and components will only be available to paid program participants. View the webinar below!
The program includes reference implementation and source code components including:
- Certificate Authority (CA) server
- Certificate Signing Request (CSR) generation and validation tool
- Machine readable, interoperable certificate file format
Fast track your in-house technical knowledge and development with additional program features including:
- Cybersecurity implementation webinars
- Early tool release with full source code license
- Expert moderated developer’s forum
- Manufacturer’s cybersecurity guidelines document development
Access to BRITE is also included in the Cybersecurity Acceleration Program.
BRITE provides a confidential, supplier-independent environment for remote interoperability testing of BACnet devices. The focus of BRITE is BACnet/SC product interoperability testing, and it utilizes BACnet/SC to achieve secure connections over the Internet. This allows cooperating suppliers to evaluate the interoperability of their BACnet devices without physical co-location.
BRITE is built around a collection of cloud based BACnet/SC hubs along with interoperability support and diagnostic tools. Test sessions typically involve two suppliers and are arranged through BACnet International. Each session is private, only allowing access to the specific suppliers participating in that test session. BACnet/SC Interoperability Acceleration program participants are eligible for discounts and access to dedicated cloud hubs.
The alpha version of the BACnet Certificate Authority Reference Implementation (BACCARI) tool has now been released.
