| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Smart cities that capitalise on the power of digital technology to improve the urban experience are multiplying across the globe. While these cities offer a promising solution to many contemporary urban challenges, they are also ushering in a new age of digital insecurity in which cyber-security loopholes can be exploited by malicious hackers to wreak substantial digital and physical damage. To counteract this threat, cities need to identify their digital-security gaps and introduce a risk-management approach that puts priority on key city assets and services for protection. What is more, because cyber attacks tend to be transboundary in nature, smart cities around the world must work in partnership to fend off such attacks. |
