Lack of cyber investment could spell trouble for smart cities: report
ByKayneFor smart cities, investing in cyber defense means being able to support a cyber workforce capable of supporting their IoT initiatives. “We’ve seen many failures with widespread deployment of IoT devices, whether due to insecure authentication methods, static passwords, or a lack of centralized and automated patch distribution. As city governments look to the future, they need to consider how they’ll attract a workforce capable of managing, securing, and monitoring millions of always-on devices,” said Kayne McGladrey, IEEE member and director of security and IT at Pensar Development. “This will be a hard sell for many cities, both due to the compensation requirements of the cybersecurity workforce and the perception that municipal jobs are rife with bureaucracy. Cities that succeed will have a vibrant and diverse workforce and realize the cost savings associated with the smart management of cities.”
