Johnson Controls by the numbers
If you’ve ever walked into these buildings—or any commercial building, university campus building or hospital—chances are you’ve experienced the innovative technology that Johnson Controls has been delivering for more than 133 years. “Where you see a city skyline and notice its iconic skyscrapers of metal and glass, we see millions of lines of code that run that building,” says Jason Rosselot, Director of Global Product Security at Johnson Controls. “Our customers are the owners, operators and facilities managers of buildings throughout the world, who are tasked with providing an excellent experience for the occupants and guests who enter their doors.” It all started with the invention of the first electric thermostat, and today, Johnson Controls makes products that control many aspects of building systems. This includes cloud-hosted, data-analytic assisted devices and technology that keeps buildings running safely and efficiently.

Johnson Controls chose Pluralsight to ensure engineers and developers have the skills and knowledge needed to write secure code, stay on the cutting edge of technology and deliver reliable, digital solutions to their customers.
Keeping up with evolving threats requires continual learning, something Johnson Controls engineers can do at their own pace with access to Pluralsight’s 6,700+ courses, when and where they choose, on or offline, anywhere across the company’s 2,000 offices.
“Pluralsight has been instrumental in helping Johnson Controls build a global cyber security training program for our engineers and provides a convenient platform to help them understand the environment of secure coding,” says Shannon Thuecks, Program Manager of Global Product CyberSecurity. “With the rich content that Pluralsight provides from the best authors in the field, our engineers can meet our objectives in a faster manner. And a comprehensive metrics dashboard helps us demonstrate the value and return on investment the platform provides.”
“I’ve used a lot of different learning solutions and technologies over the years, including online solutions,” adds John Jilek, Lead Security Architect. “In my experience, the Pluralsight platform offers some of the best content, the best instructors, and the best course selection.”
Working with Pluralsight, Johnson Controls is building internal product cybersecurity expertise and secure software development skills, which happen to be some of the most in-demand skillsets in security and development today.Â
Access to a platform that includes curated learning, a community of experts, and a vast library of technical answers is more important than ever to help Johnson Controls meet its mission to make a more safe, sustainable and secure world.
Most importantly, says Sudhi, “Pluralsight helps us eliminate cybersecurity risks, which can cost us and our customers millions of dollars.”
