Executive summary
We now live and operate in the era of digitalization, which
means increasing interconnectedness and the ensuing
requirements for convenience and efficiency. But this also
means facing and mitigating the challenges that come
with digitalization, namely increasing cyber risk.
Our buildings and assets need to be secure for the future.
Siveillance Suite, Siemens Building Technologies’ extensive
portfolio of physical security solutions – from identity and
access management to physical incident management and
industrial command and control systems – helps you pro-
tect your valuable assets. Siveillance Suite “thinks security”
by following a comprehensive approach to offering you

a cybersecurity incident will happen. Let’s take a closer
look at how we integrate security into our products,
solutions and services.
The Siveillance Suite of products from the Siemens
Building Technologies Division seeks to address these
challenges by allowing you to retain your building security
integrity in a holistic manner. In this day and age, securing
digital buildings and critical infrastructure means address-
ing both cyber and physical security concerns, which auto-
matically includes the people and processes behind them.
When it comes to aligning security with business need
and the inevitable move toward convenience, we put
a premium on cybersecurity from the outset.
First things first:
What exactly is cybersecurity?
IT security, information security, cybersecurity – there are
several terms and definitions in use today regarding security
in the digital domain, and it can be quite confusing to know
what exactly the terms imply. For the purpose of this
document, Siveillance™ Suite from Siemens Building
Technologies defines and applies the term “cybersecurity”
as follows:
“The protection of company assets against harm caused by digital attacks against the availability, confidentiality,
integrity, authenticity, and reliability of information in cyberspace. Cyberspace is the complex system of interactions
among people, software, and services by technical means connected to the Internet.”
