TruStage Risk Alert: Smart Glasses – Cool Technology or Risky Business

Smartwatches have been around for years, but smart glasses are quickly emerging as the next trend in wearable technology. In a recent Risk Alert, TruStage cautions that while these devices may look sleek and innovative, they also introduce growing safety risks and privacy concerns for both employees and consumers.

Equipped with high-resolution cameras, microphones, and AI-driven software, smart glasses can read texts, take calls, display social media, record video, identify faces, and even provide real-time transcription of conversations. Despite these capabilities, many organizations lack clear policies and controls governing their use in the workplace.

The Risk Alert outlines the specific security risks and considerations credit unions should be aware of, along with risk mitigation strategies.
