3 Ways Smart Cities = Data Security Nightmare

The uptick in hacks as connectivity increases:

• 42% increase in the number of connected devices since 2016
•  number of attacks on critical infrastructure jumped from under 200 in 2012 to almost 300 attacks in 2015

Smart technology adoption is high, but:

• innovations are deployed without robust testing
• cybersecurity is often neglected
• security protocols are not kept current

A hypothetical hack of power systems impacting 93 Million in North America would cost:

 anywhere from $21 billion to $71 billion in damages.
