Cyber in Smart Cities
Online Certification Program

“How many IoT devices exist, with how many computing devices do they share data? How many others have access to that data and what decisions are being made with this data? No one really knows. We just don’t know.”  — Rebecca Herold, The Privacy Professor, at SecureWorld Atlanta

Topics of the Program

Cyber security infrastructure architecture for Smart Cities

In a last year example of massive damage due to the cyber attack on infrastructure published in the media, cities like Chicago, Dallas and Washington D.C. – which, after the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, was left without fuel at nearly 90% of its gas stations – remain exposed.

Threat factors in Smart Cities: availability threats, integrity threats, authenticity threats, confidentiality threats

Organizations apply different strategies to technology upgrades restrained by uncertainty and budgets. For example some have decided to update outdated communication methodologies by usage of protocol converters that take these old modalities and put them on a modern TCP/IP network. The problem with that is that the converters themselves are oftentimes primitive, designed to be cheap and do not have the processing power to do any kind of authentication.

Cyber resilience and training for Smart Cities

Last year, reported cybercrime cases accounted for nearly half of total crimes in Singapore, with both ransomware and botnet attacks seeing significant increases. The city-state expects ransomware and malicious attacks on remote workers and supply chains to become more prevalent. As more people and businesses go digital, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it exposes them to more cyber threats.

Challenges of Big and Small Data, Ai and machine learning in Smart Cities

According to Forbes, the concept of “small data” has emerged as a paradigm to facilitate fast, cognitive analysis of the most vital data in situations where time, bandwidth, or energy expenditure are of the essence. Self-driving cars, for example, cannot rely on being able to send and receive data from a centralized cloud server when trying to avoid a traffic collision in an emergency situation.

Cyber privacy and regulation issues for Smart Cities

A survey by ValuePinguin states that 51% of the respondents said that corporate misuse of personal information is a bigger concern than a personal cyber attack (26%), 34% are concerned about companies selling their private information, 17% are concerned companies will use private information against them.

Continuity plan and media strategy for Cyber Security in Smart Cities

By 2025, IoT devices could have an economic impact of $3.9 trillion to $11.1 trillion. This will affect industries across the board, including retail, public venues, manufacturers, and personal technology. Cyber threats will continue to innovate at the pace of the industry which is why commercial facilities need to get on board with safeguarding their IoT systems.

Age of Smart Security

Smart home systems can leave owners vulnerable to serious threats, such as arson, blackmail, theft and extortion. Current security research has focused on individual devices, and how they communicate with each other.

Frequent breaches

Risk Based Security released their 2021 Mid Year Data Breach QuickView Report, revealing significant shifts in the data breach landscape despite 2021 breaches declining by 24%.

Be prepared and ready

Cybersecurity readiness involves developing a complex, proactive strategy that goes far beyond a basic response plan — although research suggests that many businesses don’t have one of those in place, either.
