Use a VPN when accessing devices remotely to encrypt all traffic in transit. Monitor network traffic for unencrypted sensitive data leaving the management interface. Restrict network access to management interfaces using access control lists (ACLs) to only trusted hosts. Refer to and follow all steps in the product hardening guide or the JCI universal hardening guide found here: https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/trust-center/cybersecurity/resources.
