As buildings become increasingly connected and data-driven, the rise of smart technologies is bringing new levels of efficiency, performance and user experience—alongside a more complex and evolving risk landscape. From cybersecurity vulnerabilities and data privacy concerns to system integration challenges and operational dependencies, smarter buildings introduce risks that are often less visible but potentially far-reaching. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, security, engineering and asset management to reflect on how these emerging risks are being understood and managed in practice. It will also consider the need for more robust frameworks, skills and governance, highlighting how the industry can balance innovation with resilience in an increasingly intelligent built environment.
