Seville, March 15, 2022 | With increasing numbers of connected devices, sensors and
systems resulting from evolving Smart technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT),
cybersecurity has never been more crucial. Cities and organizations are more vulnerable to
cyberattacks than ever before, putting critical municipal management and the privacy of
citizen data at risk. The need to prioritize the security measures underpinning today's
Smart City ecosystems provides the ideal backdrop for cybersecurity solutions.
The IoTSI's work to strengthen the cybersecurity of the industry in an increasingly

"IoT (internet of things) Technologies are providing the roots for a wide scale change in how
we consume and perceive data. Nowadays they are everywhere, with flagship use cases as
Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructures. Together with the IoT Security Institute, IRIS Sentinel

experience in IoT from both sources, IRIS Sentinel is gladly becoming an ATP center to impart
the IoTSI smart cybersecurity accreditation, the SCCISP certification, first of its kind" said
