September SIM Austin Meeting - Smart City Hacking - Sponsored by IBM X-Force Red
Tuesday, September 11, 2018
Join us in a conversation about smart city technology led by Daniel Crowley, research director for X-Force Red at IBM, and Jennifer Savage, security researcher at Threatcare, fresh from their standing-room-only presentation at Black Hat.
Smart city technology is becoming ubiquitous as cities deploy a rapidly growing array of internet-connected sensors to monitor and control factors, such as traffic, environmental variables, the electrical grid and more to help manage infrastructure and improve public safety.
In early 2018, as part of an ethical hacking project, IBM X-Force Red and Threatcare discovered 17 zero-day vulnerabilities in smart city sensor and control devices currently deployed across the globe by various municipalities.
Explore the risks and learn more about the roles of government and technology partners in combating them.
