Each year, the Summitsets the agenda for the next generation of governments, with a focuson how they can harness innovation and technology to solve universalchallenges facing humanity.The World Government Summit is a knowledge exchange center at theintersection of government, futurism, technology, and innovation. Itfunctions as a thought leadership platform and networking hub forpolicymakers, experts and pioneers in human development.The Summit is a gateway to the future as it functions as the stage foranalysis of future trends, concerns, and opportunities facing humanity.It is also an arena to showcase innovations, best practice, and smartsolutions to inspire creativity to tackle future challenges.AnsweringTomorrow’sQuestionsToday4 ForewordBy 2050, 70% of the world’s population willlive in urban areas. Catering to demands of thisever-increasing population in cities and impacton business operations will require innovativemethods and digital solutions to accomplishthis. Furthermore, governments across theworld expect cities of tomorrow that are smart,technologically-connected and sustainableto assist in delivering an enhanced lifestyleand create new ecosystems across all sectorsincluding food, water, energy and more.66 While smart cities continue to invest in emerging anddisruptive technologies to develop sustainably andnavigate the new era of resident demands, such rapiddigitalization presents an opaque universe of cyberthreats that may cause significant harm. Therefore,smart cities and governments across the worldneed to analyze security requirements and investheavily in securing information and communicationtechnologies, including all digital services, whileincreasing cyber awareness among all stakeholders,including residents and government officials.This paper explores a gamut of topics which areessential for cybersecurity in a smart city, includingbut not limited to cybersecurity governance, criticalinfrastructure protection, evolving threat landscapewith digitalisation, resident privacy and innovativeapproaches to offer adequate protection. The researchcovers both experiential input, global findings aroundtrends, as well as first hand input from interviewees toensure we cover the topics from various perspectives. In light of the numerous smart city projects and cybersecurity programsbeing undertaken, various subject matter specialists have shared theirviews on how smart cities must embed a security-by-design concept earlyin the conception and design phases. This aids to counter cyber threats thatcontinue to plague governments across the world.In the future, smart city concepts and technologies will no longer beseparable from the built urban structure.1In order to develop cyber-securesmart cities, it is important to consider the cyber risk and threat landscape,explore how intersections between COVID-19 and other primary force waves(such as innovative technology) shape existing and new megatrends for thecity and integrate cyber monitoring and defence mechanisms within cityinfrastructure to limit the attack vectors and opportunities that attackers canleverage.Governments across the world need to undertake a series of activities inorder to safeguard the digital and critical infrastructure assets of cities fromthreats and attacks which seem to be imminent at the moment. To stayahead of threat-actors and cybercrime, governments need to be innovative,prioritize assets, understand the risk landscape and implement enhancedlevel of security controls.We look forward to exploring this critical area for smart cities in furtherdetail and performing a deep-dive review of solutions and best practices fornavigating the era of rapid urbanization and digitalization of cities through asecurity-by-design approach.------------------------1.EY – What does the future of smart cities look like?2.McAfee and CSIS Report - Hidden Costs of Cybercrime Beyond Economic ImpactLatest research estimates global losses fromcybercrime to have exceededUSD 1 trillion28 EY’s Global Information Security Survey(GISS)32020 highlighted that 60% oforganizations have faced a material orsignificant incident in the past 12 months,and about one-fifth of these attackscame from “hacktivists” (i.e., tech-enabled, political and social activists)second only to organized crime groups(23%). This showcases the cyber threatlandscape that governments across theworld need to be aware of. The adventof new technologies, being leveragedacross smart city landscapes, providesfurther entry points for attackers and
