Cybersecurity for Building Automation: BMS and BACnet

BMS engineers and technicians, system integrators, facility managers, MEP consultants and OT or IT security staff who look after building systems. Basic networking knowledge is assumed.

No. It teaches people responsible for buildings to protect them. There are no techniques for attacking systems, and the course warns against testing live buildings without written permission.

No. It is about BACnet, Modbus and the design of any BMS. Siemens and other companies' lessons are used where they explain the ideas well, credited on each module, and none of them is affiliated with EDWartens.

No. The course explains BACnet/SC from the lessons and the standard's principles. If you have a controller that supports it, the bench exercises become more real.

Yes. Every module, the notes, the project and the final assessment. The only paid item is the certificate, if you want it.

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a number anyone can verify on our site. It is not a BACnet International or ASHRAE certification.

About 8.1 hours of video lessons, notes and practice questions, plus about 10 hours if you do the project. At an hour a day, that is about two and a half weeks.

You assess the BMS of a 14-storey office tower in Lagos, Nigeria, whose tenant wants evidence that the building's systems are secure. You write an asset inventory, a zones and conduits model, a risk register, and a plan for hardening, vendor remote access and a phased move to BACnet/SC.

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹599 including GST for this intermediate course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
