Today, CISA, NSA, FBI, NCSC-UK, ACSC, CCCS and NCSC-NZ released a joint guide: Cybersecurity Best Practices for Smart Cities.
Smart cities may create safer, more efficient, resilient communities through technological innovation and data-driven decision making. However, this opportunity also introduces potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses that—if exploited—could impact national security, economic security, public health and safety, and critical infrastructure operations.
CISA encourages organizations implement these best practices in alignment with their specific cybersecurity requirements to ensure the safe and secure operation of infrastructure systems, protection of citizen’s private data, and security of sensitive government and business data.
