How JPMorgan Chase Mastered Device Discovery at 270 Park Avenue

February 3, 2026

In this presentation from NexusCon 2025, Mike Grinshpon, Global Real Estate Engineer at JPMorgan Chase, breaks down the monumental task of managing operational technology for the firm's new global headquarters. Addressing the chaos of a 2.5 million square foot, all-electric skyscraper at 270 Park Avenue, Grinshpon explains how his team tackled the "Wild West" mentality of various OT vendors to bring order to a massive greenfield project. The session details the critical first steps of discovering, itemizing, and securing over 8,000 devices—ranging from mechanical room controllers to ceiling sensors—to ensure they met rigorous enterprise IT standards.

Viewers will gain a behind-the-scenes look at the specific workflows used to bridge the gap between traditional IT asset management and the decentralized world of building systems. Grinshpon shares the "digital tools with paper rules" pitfalls to avoid and reveals how a simple, shared-environment methodology outperformed complex, siloed reporting. You will see how the team utilized span port monitoring and digital fingerprinting to identify rogue devices, mitigate security vulnerabilities, and provide leadership with real-time progress metrics. For any leader managing a large-scale OT/IT integration, this recording offers a practical roadmap for maintaining a secure, segmented, and transparent network infrastructure.
