Solutions: Smart City

Compromise of IoT Devices and Systems

Threat: Many IoT devices used in smart city infrastructure (e.g., smart meters, traffic sensors, surveillance cameras) are often vulnerable to cyberattacks due to weak security configurations.
Impact: Compromised devices can serve as entry points for broader network attacks, disrupt services (e.g., traffic control, water management), and lead to manipulation of critical infrastructure.

IoT Attack Surface

Unauthorized Access to Networks and Data Breaches

Threat: Hackers may gain unauthorized access to smart city networks that rely on Wi-Fi, cellular, IoT, CBRS, and GPS, compromising sensitive data related to citizens, critical infrastructure, or operations.
Impact: Breached data could lead to privacy violations, exposure of confidential information, and potential exploitation for malicious activities or financial gain.

Wi-Fi Attack Surface

Denial of Service (DoS) & Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks

Threat: Attackers can overload smart city networks with malicious traffic, targeting Wi-Fi, cellular, or CBRS networks, rendering mission-critical services inoperable.
Impact: DoS and DDoS attacks can cause significant disruption to essential services, such as emergency response, public transportation, and utility management, impacting citizen safety and city functionality.

CBRS Attack Surface

Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks

Threat: Attackers may intercept wireless communications between devices and infrastructure (e.g., GPS signals, Wi-Fi connections) to manipulate data or extract sensitive information.
Impact: This could lead to misinformation, compromised decision-making, and unauthorized access to sensitive city data and systems.

Cellular Attack Surface

Jamming & Spoofing of GPS & RF Signals

Threat: Jamming or spoofing GPS signals can disrupt location-based services and applications, including emergency response, public safety, and autonomous vehicle navigation.
Impact: Compromised GPS or RF signals can lead to operational delays, safety risks, and potential accidents involving autonomous systems.

GPS Attack Surface

Rogue Devices & Access Points

Threat: Malicious actors could deploy rogue devices or access points to mimic legitimate networks, tricking city employees or citizens into connecting to them and revealing sensitive information.
Impact: This could result in data breaches, unauthorized access, and further propagation of malicious software or attacks.

Cyber-Physical Attacks on Infrastructure

Threat: Exploitation of wireless vulnerabilities to launch cyber-physical attacks that target the physical components of smart city infrastructure (e.g., power grids, water supply systems).
Impact: Such attacks can result in significant physical damage, service outages, and public safety hazards, requiring costly repairs and potentially putting lives at risk.
