SUMMARY:Luncheon: Cybersecurity for Building Systems: Understanding Risk, Threats, and Real-World Protection
LOCATION:Norris Conference Center, 2525 W. Anderson Lane, Austin, TX, 78759
DESCRIPTION:Luncheon: Cybersecurity for Building Systems: Understanding Risk, Threats, and Real-World Protection\n\n04/08/26 11:30 AM CST\n - 04/08/26 01:00 PM CST\Description:\nOperational Technology (OT) cybersecurity focuses on protecting the systems that control and operate physical building functions—such as HVAC, Building Automation Systems (BAS), access control, lighting, and other connected infrastructure. This session will begin by clearly defining what OT cybersecurity is—and what it isn’t, and how it differs from traditional IT security.\n\nAttendees will explore real-world building system risks, including examples of cybersecurity incidents that have impacted HVAC, BAS, access control, and other OT environments. These examples will show what a cyber event actually looks like in day-to-day operations—disruptions to comfort, access, safety, and building performance.\n\nThe presentation will then examine how attackers reach building systems, highlighting common access pathways, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities that are frequently overlooked in commercial properties.\n\nFinally, the session will focus on what protection looks like in practice, covering practical cyber hygiene, monitoring, and risk-reduction strategies that organizations can realistically implement to reduce exposure and improve resilience—without requiring deep cybersecurity expertise.\nPresenter:\n\nLindsey May is a Cybersecurity Business Consultant at Honeywell, where she serves as the cybersecurity knowledge lead in the United States for the Building Automation division. She brings a combined background in project management, consulting, and cybersecurity strategy, with experience spanning both OT and IT environments.\n\nWith a PMP certification and an MBA from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, Lindsey has led teams through complex, multimillion-dollar cybersecurity initiatives. She specializes in aligning technical solutions with real-world business needs, equipping sales teams and customers to navigate today’s evolving cyber landscape.\n\nPrior to Honeywell, Lindsey held cybersecurity project management and operations roles at Optiv and Cerner. She is passionate about making cybersecurity approachable, actionable, and tied to measurable outcomes.\n \nThank you to our Luncheon Sponsor!\n\n\n\n\n\Details:\nRegistration fees:\n\n\n	$55.00 for Engineer & Property Manager members\n	$65.00 for Vendor members\n	$75.00 for Guests who are not members (does not apply to vendors on wait list)\n	Walk-ins day of event will be charged $10 late registration fee\n	48 hour cancellation notice required for refund\n\n\Location:\nNorris Conference Center\n2525 W.
