ATLANTA, Sep 30, 2021 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Deloitte’s 2021 outlook for commercial real estate shows that 44% of commercial real estate executives surveyed believe cybersecurity is one of the biggest challenges they face when digitizing their real estate face. To mitigate cyber risks, 5Q, a technology solutions company specializing in the commercial real estate industry, has partnered with Tempered Networks to offer its customers its 5Q managed security strategy, including the new zero trust architecture solution – ZeTA (Zero Trust Architecture) .

The 5Q Managed Security Strategy aims to limit the risk and impact of cyber threats by better protecting OT perimeters, assets within the perimeters, and reducing vulnerabilities through the following methods:

  1. Secure the perimeter

  2. Monitor and detect

  3. Respond effectively

  4. Actionable reporting

5Q uses Tempered’s Airwall platform as the basis for ZeTA, a new solution that offers network segmentation and secures remote access between any two systems via a global public network or within a local infrastructure. ZeTA combines 5Q’s expertise in commercial real estate, managed services and cybersecurity to provide a more secure, more manageable network infrastructure by isolating communications, consistent secure remote access and managing legacy upgrades.

“Protecting the ‘crown jewels’ of our customers’ assets is a top priority for us as this information is most valuable to threat actors,” said Don Goldstein, President and CISO of 5Q. “Our partnership with Tempered enables us to leverage our and their strengths to provide a comprehensive zero trust solution that addresses the most common vulnerabilities in commercial real estate networks. ZeTA provides our customers with robust protection that keeps their systems and information “hidden from public Internet access.”

The story goes on

As commercial real estate companies evolve with the digital transformation and developers integrate new “intelligent” technologies into their buildings, systems are exposed to increased vulnerability to cyber attacks, which must be addressed. Applying Tempered’s Airwall technology helps 5Q quickly secure OT networks in a portfolio before remedial action begins, creating a more cost-effective solution and improved remote access protection to protect customers’ most critical data and assets.

“The desire for connectivity and the increasing use of remote access, especially in commercial real estate, require improved protection against cyber threats,” said Keith Beeman, CEO of Tempered Networks. “This is why we created Airwall, the virtual air gap. Through this partnership, 5Q will secure its customers’ critical infrastructure with first-class zero trust protection.”

ZeTA is part of 5Q’s Managed Security Strategy, which includes 5Q Centry, a SOC-as-a-Service solution, and 5Q Ceeker, a configuration monitor. To learn more about this partnership and 5Q’s Managed Security Strategy, visit 5qpartners.com.
