The Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial to the creation of the smart cities of the future. The systems and sensors that will make our cities more livable will be widely deployed across Australian cities in the next decade, but many of the 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 will have to take a new approach to security and risk management and this guide is designed to help them on that journey. Written for non-technical readers, it covers how to approach stakeholders, how to look at risks holistically and who to approach for help when things get complicated.
