Systems and methods for reducing cyber security incidents with intelligent password management

A system comprising:

• a transceiver device of a server in communication with a plurality of building control devices;
• a programmable processor of the server;
• and
• executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of the server,
• wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software of the server assess a vulnerability of a current password for at least one of the plurality of building control devices by detecting that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices is a default password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices, that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices is blank, or that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices is weak,
• wherein, responsive to detecting that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices is vulnerable, the programmable processor and the executable control software automatically generate an updated password for the at least one of the plurality of building control devices, and
• wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software assign the updated password to the at least one of the plurality of building control devices.

A method comprising:

• assessing over a network a vulnerability of a current password for at least one of a plurality of network connected devices by detecting that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices is a default password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices, that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices is blank, or that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices is weak;
• responsive to detecting that the current password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices is vulnerable, automatically generating an updated password for the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices;
• and
• automatically setting the password of the at least one of the plurality of network connected devices to the generated updated password.
