Strategic Site Assessment: Managing Cybersecurity Risks in Smart City Environments

Mr. SZ Lin Sun Square Chief Expert Speaker

15-05-2025 11:40 15-05-2025 12:10 Europe/Madrid Strategic Site Assessment: Managing Cybersecurity Risks in Smart City Environments As smart cities increasingly adopt IoT, industrial automation, and integrated infrastructure, the complexity of these interconnected systems expands potential cybersecurity risks. Without a structured security strategy, vulnerabilities persist, risking essential services like transportation and energy. The ISA/IEC 62443 standard set best practices for securing industrial automation and control systems in smart cities. By establishing risk assessment and corresponding physical, administrative, and technical controls, it mitigates cyber risks while enhancing resilience. However, static security measures alone are insufficient—continuous assessment is essential. The ISASecure Site Assessment evaluates cybersecurity posture against ISA/IEC 62443 compliance, helping cities identify risks, validate protections, and align with industry best practices. Regular assessments enable operators to proactively strengthen defenses and safeguard critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. Cybersecurity Congress Room

#Connectivity, #Cybersecurity, #Standards and Regulations

15-05-2025 15:00 15-05-2025 15:30 Europe/Madrid NIS2 Directive Implementation State of Play: National Transposition, Entities Readiness Level, and Sectoral Applications Despite the October 17, 2024 deadline, most EU member states have not yet transposed the NIS2 Directive into national law, prompting the European Commission to initiate infringement proceedings against 23 countries. We will take a look at the fragmented implementation which has created substantial operational challenges, particularly for organizations operating across borders. Member States have adopted varying approaches to entity classification, sector inclusion, and size-cap thresholds, while also implementing different incident reporting classification, compliance deadlines and referencing diverse international security frameworks. This will be followed by a closer examination of the main challenges and priorities facing organizations within the scope of the Directive, as well as their preparedness level.
