Here we are at the last section video,
six point three and in this section. I'm
going to be concluding and asking you
explicitly. What? Kinds of things
you can do to help future-proof our cities.
So with clear business models.
Demonstrated in the last section, the hackers
in the attackers are changing their tactics, their techniques,
their Technologies, by the day to make
lots and lots of money. But
to make matters worse. These are taxi getting
more sophisticated in order to detect and therefore
defend. So, I'm going to spell these need to meet
new approaches to Future proof is their
cities. So the question
then is
You, how can you help your city? And in
this next few slides?
I'm going to be asking showing the eight
ways that you can provide Smart City, Security Solutions to
protect your city.
So as I mentioned in the previous section
that smart City, security is
a big deal because criminals,
and hackers and cybersecurity
bad guys are making
a living and there's a business model behind attacking
cities. So I want to just
talk about maybe four examples, or
approaches on how to secure these. Smart city is
behavioral Analytics.
As love them or hate them. But Amazon, for example, is
a leader and using behavioral analytics to
recommend additional products that consumers, consumers are likely
to buy based on their previous purchasing patterns on
this site. So, if anything doesn't
look right, or isn't in that
pattern, the system will send a
notification or a flag to warn. Something
is afoot, something is wrong here. Improved
encryption, of course.
This is an ongoing and a daily battle. But
we need to kind of turn up the volume and scale
it to a Citywide level that
decrypts. Only the data sense from
the authorized devices and reduce the processing demands
for certain segments. So
we need to help
the city's kind of make
sure that
They requested our inbound or match, the
actual legitimacy of the request itself.
May I this is becoming
a martyr more robust, kind of solution to
secure a smart city and they're basically expert
systems and neural networks and deep learnings that
are all used in the kind of cyber security. So again, detecting
these anomalies detecting
these behaviors, recognizing good
behavior, normal situations and abnormal situations.
And so, artificial intelligence is
a great tool to use
Sad is a gear as part of City. Then
there's Quantum cryptography. And again, this is Mega massive,
groundbreaking Frontline, kinds
of stuff.
But it's you know with some super high processing you
can use the
quantum cryptography kind of system
to basically access
the key and decrypt. The
data. Once the virtual keys are unlocked.
And this is making it virtually
impossible for cyber hackers to
get into. This is this is maybe something
that some of you are interested.
And this would definitely do the job.
So in the next last two diagrams, I
want to kind of paint for different
portraits about what you can do
to help your city. And these are eight ways to provide
sparsity Security Solutions to
future-proof your city. So the
first one is not all systems are created. Equally,
I think we ought to start prioritizing
ranking a risk-based Approach at
to help our cities. Let's
Prioritizing what's kinds of
high medium and low Priority
Solutions are available. And
which ones get implemented. And, of
course, invest accordingly, we
need to do our due diligence. Many of you, taking
this course, can easily help your city.
Take inventory, take stock of
where your city stands today and
where it needs to go tomorrow to meet the
The the various Safety and Security requirements. Number
three is kind of simple. If you know that your
city has a CTO or CIO find
out who she is and help
them lead their security efforts, this
will, of course, depend on the size of your city, but nevertheless, there should be
some sort of lead technician in your city, get familiar
with them and what kind of role you
can play to help protect your city number
four.
Like blueprints, but this means is that you can help design
a super robust cybersecurity strategy
and remind
them that what the threats are.
If you don't, it shouldn't be an afterthought. And
so be proactive and develop start kind of developing
a comprehensive plan that the leadership
and elected officials can understand.
And and therefore
Accept and support and therefore sponsor.
And terms of budgets
is really important. Number
five. There are lots
of lines that are being drawn right now, and I like to
call these lines the Rubicon, because we're about to step into this new
paradigm shift. So we
need to Define what those lines are
in terms of Mobility energy iot and
urban data, sectors.
We need to draw those lines in a way that's
consistent and and relative to your city size
and the needs. Number six is
developing and deploying a cybersecurity as kind
of system. So you
can have a vision and a proposal on
how to design build and test policies and
procedures for your city. The you have to
be including the different stakeholders, whether they be the staff vendors
or community.
Themselves into this into this Vision, but
people like a
kind of clear approach to how
to tackle these urgent problems, employ, good, cyber
hygiene in the last few slides. You've kind
of been hitting in the head with a hammer to be reminded of
how easy it is now on how
Popularity is and how lucrative it is to be attacking
municipalities and cities. So we
need to start with good hygiene. And these are good security practices
to handles the systems of data. So
that's good anti-virus anti-malware. Everything
is up-to-date. Good, VPN tunneling. Good
to factor to, you know, authentication
factors passwords are
changed often and there could be
some even training.
Workshops and those kinds of things to help the city
employees, get familiar with the importance of these, the
importance of these kinds of practices
as good cyber hygiene, and
of course, back up as the no-brainer, when
you're attacked, sometimes the criminals
that hackers attackers like to hold
everything up, but if you've got a good backup maybe
by the day, maybe you won't have to lose
so much time.
More money. And this these
can be done and on-site data centers, or in the cloud. But
nevertheless, make sure that all of the accounts are
in the business interests are
all backed up on a certainly, a daily basis. If
not an hourly basis.
So it's been my pleasure, lecturing
talking to you all today. And
I really believe that you can help make a difference to
help future proof your city. It's not
just a concept. It's not just a hypothetical as
I've shown in Illustrated. In this course that
the threats are real. The opportunities are big
and there's something if you were interested in
any of these Concepts about Smart City,
There's definitely a vital role that you can play
to keep them. Keep ours a future cities safe
and secure for everyone. I thank
you.
