DESCRIPTION:“Smart City” has been a trendy buzzphrase used by politicia
 ns\, city planners\, and tech companies for over a decade now — but thei
 r shiny promises gloss over dangerous realities.\n\nDowntime and damages i
 n municipalities due to cyberattacks regularly make the news\, but we focu
 s primarily on securing and recovering IT systems. Smart Cities by nature 
 use a combination of IT and OT systems but have no established or holistic
  approach for managing overlapping risks to both. The consequences to secu
 rity from varied stakeholders involved in Smart City planning and implemen
 tation go unexamined. Human hazards\, vulnerable devices\, and data manage
 ment issues build on these to create diverse and creative attack paths for
  all sorts of threat actors.\n\nSmart Cities present a ubiquitous and uniq
 ue combination of risks which must be comprehensively assessed in order to
  improve procedural and operational security\, reliability\, and resilienc
 e. By reframing our understanding of what Smart Cities are\, we can use an
 d integrate pre-existing actionable strategies to prepare and defend again
 st threats ranging from pandemics to nation-state attacks. As politically 
 motivated cyberattacks expand in reach and collateral radius\, we need to 
 prepare our cities for when they become the next battlefield.
