S4AllCities R&D Project

Smart cities need to ensure a secure and safe physical and digital ecosystem for the well-being of EU citizens. The EU-funded S4AllCities project aims to make cities’ infrastructures, services, ICT systems and Internet-of-Things more resilient, while promoting intelligence and information sharing amongst security stakeholders. To achieve this, it will integrate advanced technological and organisational solutions into a market-oriented, unified cyber–physical security management framework.

S4AllCities technology will revolutionize the way smart cities become more prepared, protected and resilient to both physical and cyber-attacks on city soft targets, smart spaces and critical infrastructure networks. This is achieved by greatly augmenting City Spaces Situation Awareness with intelligence, context and evaluated real-time cyber and physical security threat levels. A digital twin System of Systems ingesting information from an array of novel and legacy sensors that go beyond the state of the art contributes to enhanced smart-city safety.
