| contents | <p>This study examines the <a href="https://ijetrm.com/issues/files/Nov-2025-12-1762916471-NOV24.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cybersecurity vulnerabilities</a> of connected Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning<br>(HVAC) systems installed within smart Building Management Systems (BMS). The paper explores how legacy<br>communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and KNX expose network systems cyberattacks due to weak<br>encryption, outdated software, and poor network segmentation. Using a qualitative multi-case design based on<br>twelve professional interviews and eight document analyses, the research investigates technical, organizational,<br>and human factors influencing system security. The findings of the study reveal that cybersecurity performance<br>and effectiveness depend on effective secure network design, organizational culture, cross-departmental<br>cooperation, and staff training. The study recommends a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that combines<br>technical safeguards, policy adherence, and human-centered strategies to enhance resilience against unauthorized<br>access and digital threats.</p> |
