The proliferation of smart devices in our buildings brings huge benefits for owners and occupants but also brings an increased vulnerability to cyberattacks. Every digital endpoint creates cyber-risk, so as we push ahead with the digitization of buildings, we must also push ahead with more intelligent cyber-security. “The increased use of internet-connected sensors is turning high-rise offices into computers with a roof that […]
