In a data-driven world, city planners are increasingly considering cybersecurity a key focus in their critical infrastructure. Today’s hackers can strike from anywhere. Thus it is crucial to protect infrastructures and beef up defenses. Managers may also consider how to recover from a situation where systems are compromised. This panel will discuss how cities can develop a robust strategy for protecting all that the new connectedness offers to ensure digital safety.
