ControlTrend’s Eric Stromquist caught up with old friend Leroy Walden, vice president of McKenney’s, Inc. Automation & Control Solutions at IBcon 2013 to discuss trends in building management systems (BMS), big data, and cybersecurity.
Leroy and Eric discuss the challenges faced by building owners and managers in making sense of the flood of data derived from modern building systems and the need for turning these data streams into actionable knowledge through data analytics and visualizations.
The discussion then turns to cybersecurity and the need to detect and remedy network security vulnerabilities inherent with today’s web facing BMS and cloud delivered monitoring and sustainability software solutions.
