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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
