Join us as we explore the concept of smart cities—municipalities enhanced by connected technology like sensors, cameras, and automated systems to improve services and infrastructure. We discuss the inherent vulnerabilities that come with these advancements, including cybersecurity threats and real-life incidents such as hacked crosswalk signals featuring voices of tech moguls. Our discussion covers how easily these systems can be compromised, the inadequate security measures currently in place, and the broader implications for critical infrastructure.
