People are closer to each other than ever before. Now, any two people with a smart phone can see each others faces through their devices in a matter of seconds. It is only natural then, that the environments that people live in would become more connected.

Smart cities are coming to fruition quickly, and some are already well on their way to bringing their data, services, and security operations together in one place.
