communications, connected lighting system devices participate in the Internet of Things (IoT). As
connected lighting systems become more deeply embedded in core building and street lighting

more valuable. Interact employs state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures at all layers of the systemarchitecture. From secure system development, to device, network and cloud security, systemmonitoring, and secure device updates.
