Application of Cybersecurity Approaches within Smart Cities and ITS

Today, several disciplines within the concept management of smart cities are challenging and are being solved. The focus is on new technologies, sustainability, social aspects, and complex solutions. It is based on the integration of particularities with the main goal of ensuring acceleration, a knowledge-based approach, future strategies, and sustainable evolution of the livable city. It lies in a proper functioning system, which is increasingly based on the data and connectivity of devices placed throughout the city. However, cybersecurity of data often lags behind. This paper provides outputs from the analysis of the systematic approach to ensure reliability and control over cyber threats and attacks with a focus on smart cities and telematics as well. Depending on the analysis, several recommendations are well described from perspective of process, technical and organizational aspects as well as regarding the specific telematics applications.
