How Lendlease Reduced OT Cyber Risk Across 19 Assets by Locking Down Remote Access First

Tom Balme from Lendlease Investment Management and Cory Clarke, CPO at Neeve, walk through how Lendlease tackled OT cybersecurity across a portfolio of large commercial and retail assets. The presentation focuses on a very specific decision: starting with secure remote access before running long audits or rolling out new smart building technology. They share how this approach played out across 19 assets, many with tenants, legacy OT systems, and inconsistent network architectures.

Rather than abstract frameworks, the discussion stays grounded in what they actually did, what they turned off, and what they put in place to regain control of access to building systems.

Behind the paywall, you’ll hear why Lendlease deliberately reordered the “standard” cybersecurity roadmap, what surprised them about tenant access patterns, and how converged networks dramatically changed the security equation. They break down what worked, what didn’t scale, and how early wins unlocked funding for later phases of the program.

You’ll also learn how secure remote access became the prerequisite for future FDD, optimization, and portfolio-wide tech rollouts. If you’re responsible for OT systems and feel stuck between risk, budget, and momentum, this recording shows a practical way out.
