INTELLINET Managed SERVICES
Our IntelliNet managed service provides the fastest speed to value and most cost-effective solution that combines automation and expertise, so you achieve cybersecurity protection, vendor risk management, business continuity, and disaster recovery capability, all supporting portfolio resilience.
With the confidence of being cyber secure and resilient, you can freely innovate and establish data flow between buildings, vendors, staff, and executives. This is a foundation for operational efficiency, sustainability, occupant experience, productivity, and financial results.
Building controls technology environments are very different from traditional IT environments. Because of this, traditional IT approaches will leave consequential gaps. Building systems use operational technology (OT), which is categorically different than IT and brings with it a vastly different culture and a fragmented vendor environment. As a result, any service in this environment must account for and understand facility management, building systems, contractors, technicians, and culture.
We infuse our managed service with nearly 20 years of advisory experience and insights from over 7,000 site assessments.
Our IntelliNet managed services are the most comprehensive and effective in the commercial real estate industry, including:
Secure Remote Access
Defined Point-to-Point Data Connectivity
Updated Antivirus & Anti-malware
Connected Device Inventory
Active Threat & Vulnerability Management
Live Network Monitoring
Automated Controls Server & Configuration Backup
Robust Restore Services
Reportable Contractor Cybersecurity Policy Compliance
