Cybersecurity Smackdown on IoT and Smart Infrastructure
Public and private entities across industries and geographies are besieged by talented, well-funded and efficient cyber-attackers who are accelerating at an unprecedented pace – with tactics and tools that seemingly change from day-to-day. The attackers are not just after your data. They want to disrupt, disconnect, confuse, humiliate, and even make political statements. The rise of IoT and smart infrastructure brings tremendous promise of innovation, but also presents an even broader attack surface for hackers to exploit. Is it a folly to believe that we can ever beat the bad guys? Is there any hope that we might get ahead of them? Join us for a discussion about the evolving nature of cyber risk and how the IoT/Infrastructure ecosystem can begin to manage it.
