AT&T’s Digital Life went to “great lengths” and “great expense” to protect its cloud-based service, Senior Vice President Kevin Petersen said at the recent Parks Associates Connections conference being held in conjunction with CTIA. Petersen cited an environment rife with hacking scenarios and said when it comes to consumer security, “You can’t have them.”

Digital Life won't "jeopardize the AT&T brand because of a rogue incident,” Petersen said in response to a question about what the company has done to secure the service. He cited a security group within the company that “plays war games on the system” and has been “attacking it for the last year” prior to the launch of Digital Life’s home monitoring and automation system late last month.
