Study of Cyber Security Initiatives in Smart City

This paper explores cyber security strategies for smart cities. It outlines a policy framework covering risk management, incident response, and compliance, drawing from existing standards like NIST, ISO and GDPR. The study emphasizes vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (VAPT) and suggests the establishment of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) for real-time threat detection, with an emphasis on AI-powered solutions. Employee training and continuous policy adaptation are highlighted as crucial for maintaining cyber resilience in smart city environments.
