Advanced technological solutions to collect, analyse and use data in security operations offer great potential to improve safety in cities. But they cannot just be used “straight out of the box”: numerous issues related to ethics, data privacy, cybersecurity and operational practices must be addressed to enable successful deployment and long-term operational impact.
IMPETUS developed approaches to addressing these issues, and learned many valuable lessons along the way. The Practitioners Guides raise awareness and bring lessons learned in IMPETUS to a wider audience. They consist of guidelines, tutorial materials, checklists, reference information and more, covering three core areas:
• Ethics – how to integrate ethical principles and procedures respecting data privacy in operations
• Cybersecurity – how to guard against, detect and deal with cyber security risks in Smart City contexts
• Operations – how to integrate new technologies into existing working practices to enhance operations
The guides are presented in an interactive, browsable form facilitating dynamic exploration of the contents by readers, and easy future updates by authors.
While the guides are based on lessons learned in IMPETUS, they are also applicable in wider contexts related to use of similar technological approaches, and to management and security of Smart environments.
