Why Choose a KNX Integrator?
KNX, an ‘open and secure’ technology, offers numerous advantages for integrators and their clients through its openness.
The primary benefit is interoperability, providing users with limitless possibilities. Consider a smart home scenario where users gradually acquire smart devices. While setting up individual devices is manageable, the accumulation of different products and apps can overwhelm users.
This is where the KNX integrator excels. KNX Integrators create systems that operate within a single ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration of all products and solutions. KNX goes beyond interoperability, offering interworking that guarantees products not only avoid conflicts but collaborate seamlessly.
Concerns about system security under proprietary systems are addressed by KNX. Unlike companies offering proprietary systems that may compromise security over time, KNX follows all necessary security regulations. KNX Secure technology, standardised according to EN 50090-3-4, blocks hacker attacks on the digital infrastructure of networked buildings, ensuring maximum protection with KNX IP Secure and KNX Data Secure.
Key cybersecurity features of KNX include meeting the highest encryption standards (ISO 18033-3, AES 128 CM encryption) and offering double protection through KNX IP Secure and KNX Data Secure. These features encrypt all transferred telegrams, protect user data against unauthorized access, and minimize the risk of digital break-ins.
To further minimize the impact of cyberattacks, KNX system designers can take precautions such as configuring a VPN connection, using KNX IP gateways with VPN services, employing KNX IP access devices with encrypted communication, or integrating a BMS platform with a KNX native driver for secure integration and monitoring.
Incorporating these measures, along with KNX IP Secure and KNX Data Secure devices, ensures robust protection against potential threats in KNX installations.
