Cybersecurity and Smart Buildings: Mitigating the Disruption of Cyber Breaches
Frost & Sullivan to offer insight on why stakeholders must have a more heightened radar for cyber threats and their impact at the upcoming CABA Forum
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart buildings are increasingly enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) and made functional by the ongoing convergence of operational and information technology systems. A host of new elements, such as the cloud, remote access, data sharing and analytics, in addition to connected and shared networks, have changed how built environments are employed and operated. However, exposure to advanced threats has been downplayed and undervalued for a long time. After witnessing a recent slew of security breaches, stakeholders of the smart building industry recognize the potential damaging impact cyber threats pose to the industry and its related businesses.
