Check out the following updates from the Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC)

GCTC-SC3 Cybersecurity and Privacy Meeting Part 1 on Oct 3, 2018, in San Jose, California

GCTC-SC3 Cybersecurity and Privacy Advisory Committee (AC) will have an in-person meeting co-located with the Smart City Security Symposium on Oct 3, 2018, in San Jose, California. As it’s imperative for SC3 to build cybersecurity and privacy, this Part 1 event marks an important milestone to support all SuperClusters and ActionClusters in their quest for robust security and privacy. Leaders will:

• identify challenges and best practices by embedding AC champions in each SuperCluster (AC has identified champions to embed in each SuperCluster and will email soon)
• socialize and collect feedback on AC’s draft document for each SuperCluster’s blueprint
• define/refine an approach to build cybersecurity and privacy in SuperClusters and ActionClusters in a repeatable, scalable and sustainable way
• prepare for Part 2 event on October 30, 2018
