| Description | The cyber-physical environment of a smart city represents a complex merger of the new technologies. This fusion leads to a multiplication of the potential complexities involved in the operation and security of such a system. There is a growing need for identification of basic principles that would allow creation of a methodology for smart city strategies reflecting upon risks related to this form of urban transformation. Similar initiatives are already underway in countries with more advanced smart city development, but increasing attention of Czech cities towards implementation of smart city features raises a similar need for Czech methodology. Vast majority of the current smart city projects constitute a gradual retrofitting of existing urban areas. Such stage by stage overhauls of the present municipal frameworks will be prone to conflicts between old and new infrastructure, incompatibility between networks and products from different providers, and other inefficiencies, which are consequentially likely to lead to a multitude of security vulnerabilities. The focus of the contribution shall be the identification of these instances and proposal of principles aimed at mitigation of these threats. |
