Securing The Internet of Things for a Smart City

The Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial to the smart cities of the future. This guide helps non-technical decision-makers assess the risks and get the help they need to make critical choices when implementing new technologies.

A non-technical guide for government decision-makers

The next decade will see the broad deployment of systems and sensors to make our cities more liveable. But many people in charge of implementing those systems have little experience with IoT – and the new risks it presents.

Local government implementors looking at smart city technology must take a new security and risk management approach. ACS has designed this guide to help them on that journey. Written for non-technical readers, it covers how to approach stakeholders and look at risks holistically, and whom to approach for help when things get complicated.
