How do we preserve our historic structures whilst making sure our older buildings are protected with the latest cybersecurity technologies? Hear more from Louise in the video below...
“It is about ensuring that retrofitted buildings remain secure, resilient and capable of withstanding the challenges posed by an ever-changing threat landscape, for years to come.” - Lousie Shea, Cyber & Information Security Director, UK Security and Public Safety, Buro Happold.
Many existing buildings in the UK were constructed decades, or even centuries ago - long before digital systems were a consideration.
This means that many of them are not always well equipped to deal with modern cybersecurity challenges, particularly when it comes to heritage or listed buildings that have legacy systems (such as older security controls), which typically lack built-in cybersecurity features.
In the video below, Louise answers seven questions in seven minutes around cybersecurity in retrofit. From the implementation of non-invasive technologies which don’t require structural modifications, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to implementing smart technologies that can prevent cyber-attacks, Louise explores how Buro Happold is helping to preserve the historical value of retrofitted buildings, whilst adopting digital protection.
