As smart cities interconnect critical systems, their attack surface expands, creating significant cyber risks. A hacked lighting system could plunge neighborhoods into darkness, while tampering with traffic lights or transport management could disrupt mobility. Cyberattacks on water systems may cause environmental damage, such as discharging untreated water into rivers. Compromised surveillance cameras could enable illegal monitoring, and infiltrating building management systems could deactivate fire safety mechanisms. These risks illustrate how interconnected urban infrastructure can be exploited if not properly secured. Provide your feedback on BizChat
