Decision-Making Based on Risk Assessment on Smart Cities

Abstract:

Cities improve their decision-making capabilities by using emergent technologies such as IoT, big data, and cloud computing. However, the hyper-connectivity product for using these technologies builds new challenges for city officers because it increases the attack surface. Therefore, city officers need to define the best cybersecurity strategies for minimizing the impact of cybersecurity attacks. Hence, they require the use of a risk analysis methodology to identify the city’s critical assets, the vulnerabilities of its components, and the possible attack vectors. Furthermore, cities are dynamic and complex systems due to their different relationships in social, economic, and demographic axis, if they include technologies such as IoT, which are solutions with heterogeneous characteristics (several manufacturers), fast-growing (about 50 billion devices for the year 2030) and, with a lack of solid security, could increase …
