A Smart Home offers many advantages. Intelligent building technology provides unique comfort, safety, and improved energy efficiency for living and working. Networking the whole house automates everyday processes. A wide variety of devices and functions can be integrated and set up exactly according to the requirements of the occupant and user.
However, precisely due to the comprehensive networking and individual adaptation to user behaviour, personal data protection and technical data security are particularly important topics that must be handled appropriately. This applies to all of the network devices and servers used in an intelligent house. Networked devices can constantly exchange signals and data. This traffic must be protected from unauthorised viewing and access. This is because in a network in and around a building, sensitive personal data is always involved, such as the number of residents, when they are at home and when they are out, user behaviour and frequently also camera images in which people are visible. The system itself, as well as the login data, must also be protected from unauthorised access and manipulation.
Reliable protection is possible. Read the following recommendations.
