As buildings begin to reopen and building projects resume, there is an increased emphasis on creating healthier and more productive working environments.
In many instances, new technologies coupled with various IoT devices will be used to implement new protocols, enhance on-premise safety and hygiene, and offer more connectivity options to remote and on-site workers. That puts an additional premium on managing the security of these connected devices and systems.
If there is a weakness or vulnerability into these devices, for example, it may breakdown communication in systems designed to make buildings safer and more efficient.
