The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre has published a new set of principles for the secure design, management and building of smart cities of the future. The Connected Places Cyber Security Principles are primarily for UK local and national authorities. The principles advise local authorities to understand their connected places by considering required cybersecurity governance and skills, the role of suppliers, risks and more. They also explain how connected places can be designed to protect data, be resilient and scalable, less exposed to risk and supported by sufficient network monitoring.”]
