Stratsec is a global team of experts on a mission to protect human life, well-being and the environment against cyber-driven threats.The cyber and physical worlds are converging. In our factories, homes, cars, even our bodies, physical devices are increasingly connected, monitored and controlled through digital networks.As these cyber-physical systems (CPS) – industrial control systems (ICS), internet of things (IoT), robotics, drones - grow in necessity to human progress, individuals, organisations, and societies will need to update their definitions of what it means to be safe in the ‘real world.’Maximized efficiency, improved utility: With benefits like these, it is no surprise that CPS have emerged as mission-critical elements in industries as disparate as energy, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, financial services, transportation, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure.However, the economic and societal rewards of cyber-physical convergence are burdened with significant risk. Once physical things get connected, physical processes become hackable in the same way as the software controlling them. Breaches of cyber-enabled real-world systems can then threaten lives, well-being and the environment.Attacks on CPSs are rapidly increasing in frequency and severity, and Stratsec predicts such threats will soon dwarf currently prevalent privacy and financial cyber crime threats.These challenges demand a multi-disciplinary approach that delivers novel solutions to unique CPS security challenges.This is the work that Stratsec team members have been delivering at the frontline of CPS cyber risk management for decades. Our interventions are informed by a deep understanding of emergent risks and advanced CPS expertise in multiple domains.Together they translate into the Strategic advantage: a true strategic partner able to map a client’s path forward, implement industry-tailored solutions, and manage CPS/ICS/IIoT security on clients’ behalf.

Smart Cities Privacy is a blog and a professional community with the mission of raising awareness of how Smart City technologies affect personal privacy.Across the globe, governments are pushing for their cities to become smarter. Smart Cities are built not only on traditional bricks and mortar but on data too. The data that we, Smart City citizens, generate is the lifeblood of the city. Every action we take will capture the essence of that action – data. Our every movement, the very air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, will become part of an integrated set of data-based services that run off sensor-driven technologies. Our data and that of our environment feed the smart city. As we generate more data, and as we combine and analyze these data, privacy concerns increase. These data can provide valuable insights to help us manage the complex nature of our growing population and urbanization needs.We should not, and cannot, allow this pressing need for efficiency to undermine our privacy, though. Privacy is sacrosanct and, once lost, hard, if not impossible, to reclaim. As individuals, as organizations, as government bodies, we all need to understand and appreciate what data privacy means. We can make smarter cities, but, in doing so, we must also build in both technical and legislative structures that defend our privacy.Smart Cities Privacy editors summarize latest industry news and provide original articles and analysis. We create a community of Smart City and Privacy professionals and share the latest information, lessons learned, job opportunities, and more.

Cyber-Physical Systems Security Institute (CPSSI) is a non-profit independent research and educational organization focused on practical and theoretical solutions to the cybersecurity challenges facing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) such as Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Robotics, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Drones, Embedded Devices, Implanted Medical Devices and others.In recent years Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have emerged as mission-critical elements in industries such as energy, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, financial services, transportation, infrastructure and others. Compromises of Cyber-Physical Systems are rapidly increasing in frequency in severity. Unlike most of the traditional information security data breaches, compromises of cyber-enabled real world systems can put at risk lives, well-being and the environment.Cyber-Physical Systems Security Institute believes that in the coming years the threat of CPS compromises will dwarf current privacy and cyber-financial crime threats. These challenges demand a multi-disciplinary approach across cybersecurity, engineering, law, social sciences and hard sciences.
