Johnson Controls, the global pioneer for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, designed Security Lifecycle Management with OpenBlue Services to help customers enhance building safety, manage risk, and maximise the value of investments made in security technology.
The offering combines Johnson Controls OpenBlue suite of connected solutions, and the ability to monitor and manage security devices across vendors, with remote support services and meaningful insights from skilled engineers, as well as simplified, integrated zero-trust cybersecurity protection.
Advancements in technology
"In recent years, security professionals have adopted significant advancements in technology to help keep their occupants and assets safe. However, these systems are not designed to set and forget, and instead require continuous monitoring and updates to operate effectively," said Julie Brandt, president of Building Solutions North America at Johnson Controls.
"The intelligence provided by the OpenBlue platform empowers our customers and our service teams with actionable steps to improve security device performance and enhance building safety, taking the legwork and guesswork out of system maintenance and risk management."
