Businesses will drive adoption as they turn to IoT to lower operating costs, increase productivity and develop new product offerings.

The convergence of smart technologies within the built environment will improve the operation and capabilities of medical facilities, but it will also lead to increased vulnerabilities and attack vectors not previously encountered within design engineering and urban planning.

The Building Internet of Things takes the concept of IoT and applies it to functions in smart buildings. These include; medical equipment ,HVAC, lighting, security
equipment, computers, digital signage.

Mindful of the unique Smart Technology challenges facing Smart Cities, the IoT Security Institute was tasked with developing a flexible and deployment focused Framework to assist in enabling cyber safe IoT Smart City initiatives. It became clear that any Cyber and Privacy Framework needed to integrate with Smart City development methodologies and deployment practices. This was not a simple “corporate environment” scenario.The emergence of IoT will affect urban planning and engineering as much as it will impact more traditional network and computing services.Cyber Security in the Built Environment Technology integrates with Concrete and Steel Designing Cyber Security into the Smart City built environment requires alignment to Building and Engineering industry processes and schedules
