  • Trust in Smart City Systems
    January 2020 TRUST IN SMART CITY SYSTEMS Characteristics and Key Considerations Executive Summary The Smart Cities Council, a global advocate for smart city adoption, states that the term “smart cities” still lacks a universally agreed upon definition. [1] However, the term generally refers to the integration of information technology (IT) with the management and operation of civic functions. As these civic functions can include operational technology (OT) elements that monitor and operate physical systems, a smart city system can be seen as representing the intersection of the IT, OT, and public service domains of practice. All three domains are represented by mature fields of practice, but their combination in cross-domain projects can expose gaps within each domain, where key characteristics important to one domain might not be considered by the others. If not addressed, these gaps can introduce security, safety, and privacy risks, including risks to critical infrastructure and its underpinning technology. These risks are not some “distant future” concern. In 2018, investment in smart city technologies is expected to reach $22 billion, and the investment is expected to grow in the future. [2] Hundreds of projects have been deployed or are in some stage of development within the United States. Since these systems are often intended to remain in use for years or decades, the impacts of failures to fully address risks introduced by these systems can be felt for years to come. Between the potential for lingering impact and the aforementioned connection to critical infrastructure, the relevance of smart city projects to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) which is charged with securing this critical infrastructure, is straightforward.

Could easily be made into a movie.By BarnabasA fan of Byers in general, when I found myself without anything special to read on the Kindle I decided to give this earlier work of his a try. I noticed that Byers tends to enjoy writing liches into his stories - granted they are interesting characters - but it was refreshing not to have one in this particular story.Byers does an excellent job of "humanizing" the characters within the story and threads a good deal of suspense throughout. One thing that occurred to me is that, for the most part, there isn't too much magic used in the book; most of the action is carried through physical combat. Thus, it dawned on me how well this novel would do as an action movie. How I would love to see that come to pass!Due to the lack of magic and prevalence of human characters I think most people would agree this isn't a typical fantasy novel. I have to imagine that is one goal Byers had in the back of his mind when writing the book.
