IoT & Smart Cities
SOC for Smart Cities
Cities and utilities are an increasingly interesting target for cybercrime
City Challenges
SOC for IoT
Smart Cities extend the surface in the cyberspace through the IoT devices which are exposed to cyberattacks (if not today they will be tomorrow). The ability to prevent and manage cyberattacks is paramount to minimize the impact and maintain the stakeholders’ confidence about smart devices and protect its residents. At Paradox Engineering, security consists of people, processes, technologies, governance and compliance controls, to effectively identify, detect, and possibly mitigate threats, ideally before any damage occurs.
City Needs
At Paradox Engineering, we look at cybersecurity as a combination of:
Technology
We endorse open, standard-based Internet of Things technologies and matured a security-by-design approach, which means having security built into our solutions from their very inception. In our experience, security can’t be added at the final stage of development or demanded just as reaction after delivery. We think about infrastructure and application protection from the beginning and provide cities with intrinsically secure network systems.
People
As 90% of security breaches come out of human inadvertent errors, we promote and deliver cyber- awareness programs to educate people, share best practices and how to behave in case of anomalous events. People are the first line of defense against cyberthreats.
Processes
Security must be managed as a cyclic process that starts from understanding the assets and the associated risks, applying measures to reduce vulnerabilities, prevent the known threats, early detect and respond to unknown threats.

Cybersecurity Services for Smart Cities
We have a dedicated team for our smart city customers with proven expertise and innovative tools to effectively monitor, support and respond to cyber threats and incidents.
We use a framework of services to support cities and utilities in improving the cybersecurity levels of their IoT networks, devices, and applications.
Our SOC provides an incident detection service by observing technical events in networks and systems and it can also support smart city’s customers in incident response and handling.
We collaborate with other SOCs or Computer Emergency Response Teams to create a wider cybersecurity collaboration network.
.1
Awareness
We spread cybersecurity knowledge and increase the customer’s preparedness by offering educational programs, trainings, and customized campaigns.
.2
Security Assessments
We test our customer’s IoT networks, systems and applications and make recommendations to prevent attacks.
.3
Monitoring
We watch the status of our customers’ operating infrastructure, send immediate alerts in case of abnormalities or suspicious behaviors, detect and quickly tackle possible vulnerabilities.
