In addition to hosting top sporting events and entertainers, stadiums and arenas must provide an optimal fan experience to keep filling seats. To do so, they rely on thousands of OT and IoT systems to ensure safety, comfort and efficiency. But as these complex venues become increasingly connected, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats and disruptions.
Behind the scenes, managers and cybersecurity teams must be able to monitor all cyber physical systems and identify threats so they can maintain operational resilience on Game Day… and every day.
From scoreboards and lighting to entrance gates and ticketing systems, OT and IoT play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency and comfort of smart stadiums and arenas. The largest venues operate like connected microcities in all their complexity.
Ticketing Kiosks & Entry Gates
Without strong password protection, a hacker could disable the ticketing system or lock the turnstiles, creating crowd unrest and vulnerability.
Video Board & Public Address System
By hacking an unsecured display or sound system, a threat actor could broadcast a message that causes crowds to panic.
Automated Lighting Controls
Without remote access security, a malicious actor could shut off all lights, also causing panic.
Large Variety and Number of Systems
Stadium networks comprise disparate systems from multiple OEM vendors, often with poorly managed third-party access or even control.
