Facilities manager

- [Instructor] The facilities management team…is responsible for maintaining the building…and the systems that keep it running.…This includes systems like power, water,…heating and cooling…that's necessary to keep our information technology systems…up and running properly.…The facilities management team…also works closely with the physical security manager…to ensure that the appropriate security precautions…have been installed.…Many of the systems being run by the facilities manager…are controlled by Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition…or SCADA systems.…

This presents us with a unique security challenge though…because many of these SCADA systems…do not have proper security enabled on them.…Even if they do have security enabled,…it's rare to find SCADA systems…that are properly patched and updated…once they have been deployed.…Therefore, it's important for you…to work with the facilities manager…to ensure that these devices are properly secured.…You should also place them into an isolated network…to prevent their exploitation whenever possible.…
