The CDC has an enterprise size installation of JCI’s BAS control system. This systemhas been classified as a High Value Asset as part of the Security Assessment and Authorization process. The CDC requires timely responses to security inquiries as critical system flaws are discovered that may impact the BAS.

Only JCI, as the manufacturer of the control system, can provide the level of technical support required.

No other source has access to JCI’s source code and product engineering.
