Going Native: Citizens, Smart Cities, and Security

Abstract:

In this ses­sion I will pro­vide a unique point of view, informed by real-world suc­cess sto­ries, on how Smart City secu­ri­ty can help to max­i­mize the ROI of ‘smart’ projects while mean­ing­ful­ly engag­ing cit­i­zens. Smart City suc­cess will come from many micro mobile-inter­ac­­tions with the smart infra­struc­ture rather than one mono­lith­ic smart-city solu­tion. This usage pat­tern changes the secu­ri­ty user expe­ri­ence for cit­i­zens, devel­op­ers, and those respon­si­ble for smart city secu­ri­ty in ways that are impor­tant to explic­it­ly high­light.

In today’s dig­i­tal­ly trans­formed world, Smart City own­ers need to deeply con­sid­er cus­tomer expe­ri­ence, espe­cial­ly as it per­tains to secu­ri­ty and iden­ti­ty. Secu­ri­ty can­not be an after­thought or an add-on.

Val­ue will be extract­ed from Smart City infra­struc­tures by soft­ware. As more Smart City soft­ware is cre­at­ed, we must ask hard secu­ri­ty ques­tions:

  • What can infra­struc­ture own­ers do to ensure that the soft­ware writ­ten deliv­ers the best secu­ri­ty expe­ri­ence pos­si­ble?
  • How can secu­ri­ty offi­cers ensure secu­ri­ty and com­pli­ance, while enabling devel­op­ers to cre­ate the most secure, native expe­ri­ence, their cit­i­zens require?
  • What is a mod­el for suc­cess?

Atten­dees will gain impor­tant insights into valu­ing and eval­u­at­ing their smart city efforts in order to max­i­mize their impact on people’s lives.

Session #1: Digital Transformation in Financial Services

What is dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion? How does it impact the finan­cial ser­vices indus­try? How will PSD2 and oth­er glob­al reg­u­la­tions change bank­ing and the bank­ing val­ue propo­si­tion? Most impor­tant­ly, how should banks change their approach to tech­nol­o­gy in order to max­i­mize cus­tomer val­ue and adapt con­struc­tive­ly to the mod­ern tech­nol­o­gy world.

Session #2: Industry 4.0, Opportunities and Challenges in IoT

There’s gold hid­den in the data of any orga­ni­za­tion, and IoT data and insight (along with ML and AI) is going to cre­ate more oppor­tu­ni­ty than most can man­age. How should an orga­ni­za­tion think about these oppor­tu­ni­ties in order to max­i­mize tech­nol­o­gy ROI? How do we ensure the right secu­ri­ty pos­ture, so that an IoT infra­struc­ture can be agile but remain secure?

The Next-Gen Installation: It Starts With a Single Factory

The cities of tomor­row will look way dif­fer­ent from a tech­nol­o­gy stand­point. Let’s talk about how gov­ern­ment can mod­ern­ize and con­nect its infra­struc­ture and cam­pus­es while the Depart­ment of Defense improves its con­ti­nu­ity of oper­a­tions through a next-gen­er­a­­tion instal­la­tion. A sin­gle Soft­ware Fac­to­ry can build the next gen­er­a­tion of ser­vices required for smart oper­at­ing bases, trans­porta­tion and pub­lic safe­ty sys­tems and logis­tics and sup­ply chain man­age­ment.
