With the advent of industrialisation 4.0 in smart cities, the lines between cyber and physical space continue to blur. Against the gloomy backdrop of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, re-alignment of security posture maturity is imperative.

According to recent Emisoft research, in 2019, the U.S. was hit by an unprecedented and unrelenting barrage of ransomware attacks that impacted at least 948 government agencies, educational establishments and healthcare providers at a potential cost in excess of $7.5 billion. The incidents were not simply expensive inconveniences; the disruption they caused put people’s health, safety and lives at risk. Emergency patients had to be redirected to other hospitals. Medical records were inaccessible and, in some cases, permanently lost. Surgical procedures were cancelled, tests were postponed and admissions halted. 911 services were interrupted etc.

Cyber threats, especially the more recent NotPetya and Ryuk ransomware, are a rude shout-out that cyber resilience is even more key to ensuring business continuity. This session aims to share architecture and governance strategies that can be applied holistically against such threats.

Key Takeaways

• Fast-evolving cyber-physical landscape and associated security threats in smart cities.

• The meaning of cyber resilience in the era of everything 4.0

• Applicable cybersecurity architecture strategies and governance measures
