This Fortinet white paper explores the promise and risks of smart infrastructure, where digital and physical systems converge. It highlights benefits like improved efficiency, sustainability, and public services—but warns of rising vulnerabilities due to IT/OT convergence, IoT growth, and increased attack surfaces. Key risks include data breaches, system disruptions, and interoperability issues. Sectors like power, water, transportation, and cities are especially exposed. The paper outlines seven factors for secure deployment, including integration, endpoint protection, ruggedized hardware, and real-time visibility.
