San Diego is an example of a city that has integrated security into its smart city infrastructure, which includes automated transportation systems, LED street lighting, traffic control and public transportation. The city has invested in an enterprise-wide vulnerability management platform to inventory all of its systems, identify at-risk devices to patch and implement continuous security monitoring to protect both modern and legacy assets. As a result, San Diego has saved more than $1.3 million per year in lost productivity.
Using the city of San Diego as a model, Australian politicians and city councils need to take a step back, collaborate and design security into their visions for smart cities before moving forward.
