Smart City Cyber Security Models

In the course of this research and investigations into Smart City Cyber Security i will be developing a number of resources specific to smart city monitoring and threat intelligence development. The following models represent the areas of research i will be undertaking through the development of taxonomies and domain ontologies.

  1. Incident Response Plan Model: This Model outlines the steps and procedures to be followed in the event of a cyber security incident, including incident detection, response, containment, and recovery.
  2. Security Policy Model: A security policy Model helps in defining the organisation’s overarching security objectives, principles, and guidelines. It covers areas such as access control, data classification, acceptable use, and incident reporting.
  3. Risk Assessment Model: A risk assessment Model assists in identifying and assessing potential risks and vulnerabilities within an organisation’s systems and processes. It helps prioritise risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
  4. Security Awareness Training Model: This Model provides a framework for developing security awareness and training programs for employees. It covers topics such as password security, social engineering awareness, phishing prevention, and data protection.
  5. Security Incident Report Model: A security incident report Model helps in documenting the details of security incidents, including the nature of the incident, impact, actions taken, and lessons learned.
  6. Vendor Security Assessment Model: This Model assists in evaluating the security practices of third-party vendors and suppliers. It covers areas such as data protection, access controls, incident response capabilities, and compliance.
  7. Security Audit Checklist Model: A security audit checklist Model provides a comprehensive list of areas to be assessed during a security audit, including network security, system configurations, access controls, and physical security.
  8. Security Baseline Model: This Model helps in defining a baseline of security controls and configurations for systems and networks. It ensures consistent security settings across the organisation.
  9. Incident Response Communication Plan Model: This Model outlines the communication channels, stakeholders, and protocols to be followed during a security incident. It ensures effective and timely communication both internally and externally.
  10. Security Assessment Report Model: A security assessment report Model is used to document the findings and recommendations from security assessments or penetration testing. It provides an overview of vulnerabilities, risks, and suggested remediation actions.
