Avoiding Dumb Mistakes
With Smart Cities

Smart City development is accelerating and even expanding in response to the new world realities of how citizens access services. But solutions to make municipal services easier to access and consume require greater attention to the inherent security of those solutions and the connective foundation they operate on. Over the last year, vulnerability exposures, ransomware, and other headline news have only served to underscore the need for a solid foundation. Reliability, resiliency, and security need to be the building blocks for constructing modern Smart Cities.

Guest Krupa Srivatsan, Security Products Director for Infoblox, has been working around the world with those on the front lines of Smart City planning and deployment. She will join host Bob Hansmann on Threat Talk to discuss risks imposed by our new world reality and essential steps that deliver significant, smart city-wide security benefits.
