Return on Advance Intelligence: Staying Ahead of The Rewards and Risks of Transformative Technologies

Date: 6/3/2025 Time: 5:15 pm - 6:00 pm Location: 104

While investments in AI, smart building systems, and immersive digital tools can deliver measurable gains in efficiency, user experience, and sustainability, owners and operators also need access to the latest verified threat intelligence to assess risks posed by bad actors, and the tools to defend those investments. As both the range of threats (cyber and physical) and the vectors of exploitation continue to grow, how can owners and operators cost-effectively protect building operations as well as tenant safety and security? In this session, a panel of cybersecurity and real estate technology experts will outline the current threat landscape facing real estate - from nation-state actors to ransomware criminals - and offer practical recommendations to help building owners mitigate risk without sacrificing returns.
