Event Overview

For years now, we’ve been hearing about “smart cities.” Cities with the ability to leverage innovative technology, and automation to optimize resources and improve services for their citizens, with the ultimate goal of making our lives better. These smart cities are no longer a distant dream of the future – they are happening now. Unfortunately, without sufficient cybersecurity, their ultra-connected nature can make these dream cities a nightmare.

While all this convenience and efficiency is great, it comes with a price. The more smart technology a city deploys, the larger the attack surface they create for cybercriminals, and the more difficult it becomes to manage from a security perspective.

The nature of smart technology is such that the “smarter” a city is, the more vulnerable it is to cyberattacks and security breaches, both intentional and unintentional. Attacks on a city’s infrastructure are becoming more frequent and could have devastating effects, so it is critical that we take the steps now to secure our cities. A well-thought-out cybersecurity plan and protocols, combined with an integrated security solution that provides visibility across your entire network, is the best approach to keep up with increasingly sophisticated and intelligent cyberattacks, and keep your city safe.

Join our upcoming educational day to learn more about keeping your smart city safe!
