The OT-ISAC Advisory and the Hidden ICS Vulnerabilities in Your Smart Building Infrastructure

The OT-ISAC Advisory and the Hidden ICS Vulnerabilities in Your Smart Building Infrastructure

A consolidated OT-ISAC advisory published in April 2026 documents critical flaws across industrial control and management systems including AVEVA supervisory platforms, Horner field controllers, Anviz access control hardware, and BASControl20 building automation systems. The advisory assigns a moderate exploitation risk within 30 to 90 days for exposed deployments — which describes a large share of smart building installations.

 The Skills Gap Is Now a Breach Statistic: What the SANS 2026 Workforce Report Means for OT and Smart Building Security

The Skills Gap Is Now a Breach Statistic: What the SANS 2026 Workforce Report Means for OT and Smart Building Security

The SANS 2026 Cybersecurity Workforce Research Report, released at RSAC 2026, found that skills gaps — not headcount shortages — have become the leading workforce challenge in cybersecurity, with 27% of organizations reporting breaches directly linked to capability gaps. In OT and smart building environments, where specialized knowledge is scarce and AI is eliminating the training pipeline, the implications are severe.
