The emergence of building automation and smart home systems has improved the efficiency and ease of operation of various equipment in buildings. By responding to the needs of users in a timely manner, a more comfortable and intelligent living space is created. Nowadays, with the gradual landing of Internet of Things technology, various devices and systems in intelligent buildings also realize interconnection and remote sharing with the help of Internet of Things technology. It is based on this connection that various application scenarios can be realized, such as voice control of lights, face recognition to open access, remote control of air conditioning by mobile phone, and control of curtains and lights through illuminance changes.

In the process of interconnection of smart buildings, who will protect the massive data and information generated? Without a reliable network security guarantee, threats and vulnerabilities will continue to increase. Imagine if hackers accessed and took control of lighting and HVAC systems, turned on the air conditioning, and left the lights on all night, which would be a huge waste of energy; If hackers steal information such as face and voice data to control the access control system, it will undoubtedly cause the risk of personal injury and property damage. So, cybersecurity and data security involve everyone, every family, every organization.
Recently, through the assessment of the state-authorized isoassurance certification body, Xiamen ABB Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. with solid and continuous improvement of network security capabilities, finally won the “Network System Security Level Protection Level 3 Certification” with a high score of 90+ (referred to as Isoassurance 2.0 Level 3 certification). This certification covers ABB Building Plus Platform (ABB Building Plus Platform), covering ABB building intercom/smart home SaaS

solutions, which marks a new chapter in ABB’s efforts to improve information security capabilities, protect customer information security, and fulfill legal compliance obligations.
Network security level protection is the basic system, basic strategy and basic method of national information security. Network security level protection is divided into five levels according to the importance of information systems in national security, social stability, economic order and public interests, as well as risk threats, security needs, security costs and other factors. Among them, the network security level protection level three certification is the highest level of national certification for network information security outside other non-bank organizations, and its content includes 5 levels of protection security technical requirements and 5 security management requirements, including: information protection, security audit, communication confidentiality and other nearly 300 requirements, involving 73 categories of assessment and classification.

Zou Enchang, head of ABB’s smart building business in Asia Pacific, said, “This evaluation result is an affirmation of the information technology level and security protection capability of ABB’s smart community platform, which will provide authoritative network security endorsement certification for building intercom, smart home and cloud service solutions developed and sold by the company at present and in the future. Make ABB the trusted partner of choice in the digital economy.”

“In the past two decades, ABB smart building solutions have been continuously applied in the Chinese market, creating customized application scenarios to meet the balance between comfort and energy saving in daily life. In order to quickly respond to the domestic market’s demand for building data security, ABB has set up a network security center covering the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing on ABB’s successful experience in data security in foreign markets, ABB has built a high-standard data security system in the industry from the aspects of hardware, software, network and application. From the cloud, the edge and the end side, we will ensure that our customers can operate safer, smarter and more sustainable, and electrify the future in a safer way, “said Zou Enchang.
