Niagara Cyber Security Statement: Reviewing Guidelines for Niagara Framework Cyber Security

Dear Niagara Community Member,

Over the past few months, there has been some well-needed government and media discussion related to the cyber-security posture of control systems. Cyber-threat watchers note that there continues to be a significant number of control systems configured in an insecure manner, and most concerning, exposed on the Internet. Our goal is to have zero Niagara Framework® deployments that fit these descriptions. Towards this goal, we are reminding our customers [Read more…]

TridiumTalk: Niagara 4.6 System Database Feature Webinar — Nov 8, 2018, 11:00 AM, EST

The release of Tridium’s Niagara 4.6 introduced the ability for a Niagara Supervisor to examine all the Niagara devices in the Niagara Network and pull up Entity data (tags and relations) into a new System Database. During this TridiumTalk, a high level view will be provided of the System Database feature including setup and configuration of the system indexer.

Learn how Entity data in remote stations will be available at the Supervisor upon executing a System Index. System level hierarchies and search can also utilize this remote Entity data. Finally, learn about the enhancements to Niagara Virtual components, including new virtual schedule HTML5 views. This new view could eliminate the need for master schedules in the Supervisor.

Be sure to register today to attend the TridiumTalk on how to use the System Database feature using the latest version of Niagara.

Date: November 8, 2018 Time: 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (New York, UTC-05:00)

REGISTER NOW!

Learn from Rick Weisensale and software engineer Scott Hoye how to get started with System Database. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.

If you have any questions, please contact your Tridium account manager or Niagara partner. We look forward to you benefiting from the new Niagara 4.6 features!

Tridium Technical Bulletin: Cybersecurity Advisory affecting Niagara AX- and Niagara 4-based Systems

Cybersecurity advisory affecting Niagara AX- and Niagara 4-based systems.

Dear valued partner,

In June of 2018, Tridium incorporated a number of fixes to security vulnerabilities in Niagara AX and Niagara 4 through security update releases. Click to read the technical bulletin. Two of these vulnerabilities, which are affecting Niagara systems on Microsoft Windows platforms, were reported to the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). An Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Advisory has been issued.

REQUIRED ACTION
It is important that all Niagara AX and Niagara 4 customers ensure they have updated their systems to the most current version to mitigate risk. Tridium takes cybersecurity very seriously. We recognize that the security of our products is of critical importance to our customers and the Niagara Community. If you have any questions, please contact your Tridium account manager or support@tridium.com.

IMPACTED PRODUCTS
It is important to note that JACE® controllers are not affected by these vulnerabilities, but the vulnerabilities are applicable to Niagara systems running on the Microsoft Windows operating system, including Niagara AX and Niagara 4 Supervisors.

For Niagara 4, the vulnerabilities were resolved in the latest two releases:
Niagara 4.6 (4.6.96.28.4), July 2018
Niagara 4.4u1 (4.4.92.2.1), June 2018
For Niagara AX, the vulnerabilities were resolved in the latest release:
Niagara AX 3.8u4 (3.8.401), June 2018

These fixes will be incorporated into all future releases of Niagara.

VYKON Announcement: Niagara 4.6 is Here — Modernize Your Framework to Save Time, Effort and Money!

Dear valued partner,

Tridium has released Niagara 4.6, a significant advancement in our open framework. Niagara 4.6 provides fertile ground for developing applications that drive building automation systems forward and help businesses take full advantage of the IoT.

Niagara 4.6 (4.6.96.28.4) follows the internal release of Niagara 4.5, a build used internally for testing and validating technology upgrades found in this newest release.

BENEFITS OF NIAGARA 4.6

Supported by Tridium’s next-generation JACE® 8000 controller*, Niagara 4.6 offers power and potential not seen since the introduction of Niagara 4 in August 2015. Most exciting about Niagara 4.6 is how it modernizes the framework and provides ways for users to save time, effort and money during system installations through:

* Access to a System DB spanning the entire Niagara system
* Visualization enhancements, such as mobile refresh for PX views now with dynamic response
* Tools including bulk tagging and templating that reduce repetitive integration tasks and simplify consistent taxonomy in conformance with Brick, Haystack and other industry standards

Included as part of VYKON’s Niagara 4.6 image, OPC UA 1.0.103 is the updated version of Tridium’s standard open driver for industrial applications. OPC UA 1.0.103 features customer-reported defect fixes and performance improvements. More detail can be found in the release notes.

Another plus of Niagara 4.6 is data encryption on a JACE 8000 or Niagara Supervisor that meets the FIPS 140-2 federal standard. Users can leverage Niagara 4.6 to win contracts for government jobs and pursue opportunities in mission-critical industries such as banking. Be sure to download the new FIPS setup guide and pricing.

*Legacy JACEs are supported by versions up to Niagara 4.4. Compare JACE controller compatibility.

Be ready to offer Niagara 4.6 before Tridium announces the release to the global Niagara Community on July 26:

1. Learn more about Niagara 4.6 by downloading the features overview and release notes.

2. Get familiar with the one breaking change with this release, and operating system (OS) and third-party software compatibility.

3. Download VYKON’s Niagara 4.6 Supervisor data sheet for details.

4. Plan to join our Niagara 4 experts for a series of informative TridiumTalks to be announced in the coming weeks.

5. When deploying Niagara 4.6, Tridium recommends refreshing your license to pick up the new features added to the Niagara 4 Supervisor parts.

We look forward to joining with you to launch Niagara 4.6 and help users capitalize on the limitless possibilities inherent in an open technology environment.
