OT & IoT Cybersecurity for Stadiums & Arenas

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.

The Nozomi Networks platform is purpose-built to protect the most challenging critical infrastructure environments from cyber and operational risk. It provides the teams responsible for building automation, parking, fan security and more with real-time visibility, asset inventory, continuous monitoring and threat intelligence, so they can detect cyber threats and process anomalies before they cause disruption.

The Connected Stadium or Arena

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.

Stadium and Arena Cyber Risks to Industrial Control Systems

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.

“Nozomi Networks provides asset, process and network visibility across multi-dimensional vectors. It provides detection capabilities which map against MITRE Attack Frameworks.”

What I like most: Ease of use and intuitive user interface, compliance reporting, remediation recommendations.
