		Cybersecurity and Privacy Risk Management
		“The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the declining costs of sensors and cloud computing are disrupting the building industry as more organizations retrofit or build out new smart buildings. There are numerous benefits of smart building technology ranging from occupant comfort and safety to improved efficiency and sustainability. However, the proliferation of smart building technology increases the risk of a cyberattack on vulnerable endpoints that need to be protected. In most cases security has not been built in when it comes to deploying smart building point solutions, thus expanding the risk exposure. Organizations must take a security-first approach to deploying smart building technology and migrate to a security fabric architecture to improve the organization’s security posture”. (IDC InfoBrief sponsored by Fortinet)
		Cybersecurity for Smart Buildings
		Cybersecurity for buildings is not just about preventing inconvenience or financial loss. It's also about protecting physical safety, personal privacy, and the overall integrity of the functions and services that buildings provide. As buildings become increasingly digitized and integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity in buildings becomes crucial.
