Cybersecurity in automation with Adquio

There is no intelligent automation without intelligent security.
We are moving towards total connectivity, where every sensor, every luminaire, every controller… is a potential gateway. And if that door is not properly closed, the risks soon appear.

As an installer or integrator, your reputation depends not only on the system working, but also on it being safe from day one. it is safe from day one..

And that’s where Adquioa platform that puts industrial cybersecurity at your fingertips, without the need to be a network expert.without the need to be a network expert.

Adquio Security

Why worry about cybersecurity in BMS installations?

Because an unprotected installation can be…

  • Accessed remotely by unauthorized third parties
  • Maliciously manipulated (e.g., by turning off the air conditioning in the middle of summer)
  • Used as a gateway to attack other corporate networks
  • Or simply suffer from failures due to misuse, improper access or outdated software.

And all of that can happen without you or your customer knowing about it… until it’s too late.

How does Adquio protect your facilities?

Unlike other platforms, Adquio has cybersecurity built into its design, both in its physical devices and in its cloud services.both in its physical devices and in its cloud services.

Firewall on all controllers

Each Adquio controller can act as its own firewall own firewall. You can prevent any “external” computer from accessing the control system without permission. This protects the installation even if the rest of the network is not.

2. No ports open to the exterior

One of the most common mistakes is to leave the SCADA or controller accessible from the internet by port forwarding. With Adquio, this is is never necessary..

The communication between Adquio Cloud and the devices is carried out through encrypted outgoing connectionsno open ports, no risk of scanning or intrusion.

3. Advanced user management in Adquio Cloud

Each installation can have multiple users with different access levels:

  • Display only
  • Partial control
  • Full control and editing
  • Total management

In this way, you can give access to service technicians, the end customer or even manufacturers without compromising the security of the system. without compromising the security of the system.

From Adquio Cloud you can keep your controllers and displays always up to datewithout having to move. Updates can be done in real time without stopping the normal operation of the installation.

This allows you to:

  • Fix known vulnerabilities
  • Add new functionalities
  • And meet safety standards effortlessly

Best practices that you can apply to any Adquio project

In addition to the platform’s native tools, we recommend:

  • Change default passwords on all computers
  • Use separate accounts for each user (no shared access).
  • Segmenting the control network (by VLAN or independent router)
  • Disabling unused ports and protocols
  • Maintain a log of access and configuration changes
  • Plan for regular software and firmware upgrades
  • Monitor network traffic and set alarms for unusual events

And why does this matter to your customer?

Because security not only protects… it also builds trust. generates trust.
When a customer knows that his control system is armored, he sleeps more soundly.

And you as an installer become someone who doesn’t just “assemble equipment”, but who thinks about operational continuity, business integrity and long-term peace of mind..
