For this episode of the Spaces and Places podcast by Site 1001, Lauren Long and Aaron Simon are joined by cybersecurity expert, Tom Kellermann.

Tom is the Chief Cybersecurity Officer at Carbon Black, a software company that specializes in cloud endpoint protection. Tom is also a member of the CNBC Technology Executive Council, served as Commissioner for the Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency, an author and a professor.

Lauren and Aaron chat with the reformed hacker about threats to building security today and the cyber insurgency that is already happening. Tom has noticed a dramatic increase of hostility in cybercrime and in the cyber-terrorist community in recent years as the prosecution rate of cybercriminals is still less than 3%. Chatting about the role of facility managers, CISOs, CTOs and building owners in securing buildings, Tom also talks about common attack vectors of banks and why your company is still a target even if you aren't high profile - it's called "island hopping" and it's not the vacation you're looking for.

Nicolas is a globally recognized Subject Matter Expert who focuses on Building Automation and has a passion for Ecosystems thinking. He has vast experience and knowledge regarding value creation initiatives around the Internet of Things and Digitalization within the Real Estate sector.

The trio discusses the famous 3-30-300 rule and how it reflects the importance of energy efficiency and, even more so, predictive maintenance, while also debating the status of smart buildings worldwide. Nicolas defines digital twins and explains how they’re part of the “gold rush” to digitalize and create better buildings.

“National competitiveness. Building automation. Smarter buildings.

They’re such important topics - they should be at the highest level when you talk about… basically anything.”

In this second part of a two-part episode of the Spaces and Places podcast, Lauren and Aaron continue to chat with the bow-tie wearing Bob Bennett, smart city expert and former Kansas City Chief Innovation Officer, about what smart cities look like, how they operate and how we can get there, realistically.

The trio discusses the surprising value of silos within organizations and departments as they allow for expertise, but Bob says if we aren't knocking down walls, we need to install windows so that experience and expertise can be shared. Bob goes on to explain that cities aren't that different than factories (based on a statement by Quito, Equador Mayor, Mauricio Rodas Espinel) and technology doesn't replace the people in these operations but instead makes them run much better. We don't want to give away all the soundbytes, and there's really too many to list!, so press play below to finish the conversation with Lauren, Aaron and Bob!

"We’re not going to get there unless we get there together." - Bob Bennett

Lauren and Aaron are joined by fan-favorite Bob Bennett in this episode of Spaces and Places. Former CIO (Chief Innovation Officer) of Kansas City, Bob is a civic technology thought leader and expert on smart cities. Under his eye, Kansas City, MO had the smartest 54 blocks in the US and now Bob, forbidding any grass to grow under his feet, helps other cities get smarter.

But, Bob hates the term "smart cities" and he cannot wait for it to kick the bucket.

Join Lauren, Aaron and Bob as they discuss smart cities' roots in Ancient Rome, how to position technology so city leaders will understand its value, and how solutions need to FOCUS. Don't be too surprised with some playful chat - after all, Site 1001 is from Bob's city of Kansas City and he's known us from day one.

Joining Aaron and Lauren in this episode is Tom Snyder, Executive Director at NC RIoT. NC RIoT is a non-profit driving the Internet of Things economy by bringing together entrepreneurs, established companies, universities, government officials, non-profits and IoT enthusiasts. Tom regularly address global audiences about the Internet of Things and what that looks like for us now and in the future.

In this podcast, Aaron, Lauren and Tom chat about how everything is connected and Tom starts by outlining the below universal trends in emerging tech:

First: How can I use tech to improve the way I do things currently such as how do I lower costs and become more efficient? (This is where we are now.)

Then: How do I use this tech to do new things to create new revenue and new value?

Finally: How do I use all the data to get closer to my customer and have much more trusted, stronger relationships?

The group goes on to define the best kind of technology, how to build communities that feel connected even when technology pushes us towards a more automated existance, and Tom gives the BEST explanation of 5G out there (we dare you to find a better one).

A conversation among techie friends, this is a podcast you'll enjoy listening to from start to finish and you'll bring it up at dinner tonight. Go ahead, press play!

We’re excited to release the first episode of our Spaces and Places Summer Series Podcast! Joining us in this episode is Phillip Kopp, CEO & Founder at Conectric. Phil and the InSite Coast to Coast team (Aaron and Lauren) chat about the gap in buildings we need to pay attention to, how to make use of buildings with occupancy dilemmas, work-life balance, IoT cyber attacks, comfort zones, and even racing cars with Danica Patrick.

In this episode of InSite Coast to Coast, Lauren and Aaron discuss the newly selected Amazon HQ locations in NYC and Northern VA. The duo approaches the hot topic from a fresh perspective: what this move means to buildings, occupants, and the communities they're a part of from the outside in and the inside out. As people want to be more connected, Amazon may be one of the first to do it right and in a collaborative way with existing infrastructure, and possibly set the standard for smart buildings living in smart cities.

In this episode of InSite Coast to Coast, Lauren and Aaron follow up last week's talk about making smart (building) moves with where the first smart move begins, that being facilities management, of course. They discuss how FM teams are the foundation of building operations and the producers and keepers of a lot of building data. The C2C duo concludes that, to make the move to smart, the first step for building ops teams is to get everyone on the same page and build on the (figurative) foundation of their structure, their facilities managers.

In this episode of InSite Coast to Coast, Lauren and Aaron discuss why it's taking so long for buildings to become smart despite the ample amounts of data to support the need for it. Starting with discussing individual health and productivity rates in the vast number of buildings that are sub-par in health standards, the Site 1001 duo dives into the reasons tech adoption in buildings is taking longer than we'd all like. And most importantly, they talk about how the first step in making smart moves is to get out of your own way and just start.
