Improving cyberâ??physical systems with security architecture for safe public data-smart network

Abstract:

Computer security, cyber security or information technology security is the protection of computer systems and networks from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. It is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It’s also known as information technology security or electronic information security. Smart City (SC) is an upcoming concept incorporating ‘Digitalized Associated City’ and city organization with the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This novel concept offers in-depth knowledge by enhancing the nuances of the networking business and acts as a bridge between the Government, corporate, and the general public. When it comes to Cyber security deals with the confidentiality of the information and the vulnerabilities they come with SC systems. In our research paper, we investigate the security concerns of the SC infrastructure development and also taking into account the views of both technological and business operations. We also put forth a Hybrid Smart City Cyber Security Architecture (HSCCA) method. This method analyses the threats besides developing safe data. We make sure to consider the important factors like valuable data collection, memory storage, recovery, and well-organized network source supply high-level HSCCA for setting up a smart city. The HSCCA setup recommended by us follows a layered presentation of storing data and explains about various participants that cover and also ensures service delivery to the end-users. Our suggested method also investigates Cyber Security (CS) instituted for smart cities. Besides, we also highlight the specific features of SC generated challenges regarding cyber security, along with the reviewing of various aspects of risks associated with it. Eventually, our research concludes with the evaluation of certain significant cyber security solutions for smart cities proposed for HSCCA. This paper recommends a context-specific safety setup for conventional cyber–physical systems and put forth a few prospective areas for exploring and their impact.
