Other consideration in mitigating cybersecurity
● Communication between Connect Device and Building Operator is via the
internet where connection is always outbound traffic, initiated by the Connect
Device on premise, utilizing HTTPS.
● All data communication via the internet is encrypted using Transport Layer
Security (TLS) 1.2 and utilizes TCP port 443. Utilizing HTTPS and MQTTS
ensures data transferred is highly resistant to eavesdropping and interception
No other port is used for outbound (to the internet) data communication.
● All data communication between the Cloud servers’ endpoints and the Connect
Device is also secured by means of X509-certificate-based authentication and
authorization.
● All inbound ports on Connect Devices “LAN” and “WAN” interfaces are disabled
by default except port 80 and 443. User must explicitly define permitted
inbound ports to enable data communication from the building automation
network.
● Inbound traffic for BACnet UDP communication must be explicitly permitted
and is limited to port ranges between 47808 - 47823 (0xBAC0 - 0xBACF). Only
the port used in the building automation network should be permitted, while
keeping all other ports closed.
● Inbound traffic for Modbus TCP communication must be explicitly enabled is
limited to port 502.
● Connect Device supports anonymous proxy; however, a DNS server is
required on customer network.
● Connect device leverages containerized architecture where published
software/firmware images are certified and renewed. This verifies the container
image is built from an official image source and running as intended. All
operating system updates are signed, and the signature is verified before
applying the software/firmware update.
An example of inbound port configuration is listed below.
