3 Categories of IoT

• Consumer IoT

• Industrial IoT

• Public Sector IoT: Smart Cities and Communities

• Smart City/Community: Use smart technologies such as IoT

and CPS to improve the quality of life in cities and

communities

• Many smart community efforts are one-off projects with

heavy emphasis on customization and inadequate

consideration for future upgradability and extensibility

• As a result, many Smart Cities/Communities deployments

are isolated and do not enjoy the economy of scale.

NIST

Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC)

Smart and Secure Cities and Communities

• Establish and demonstrate replicable, scalable

and sustainable models for collaborative

incubation and deployment of interoperable,

standard-based Internet of Things (IoT) solutions

and demonstrate their tangible and measurable

benefits in communities and cities

• Tackle the cybersecurity, privacy, and

trustworthiness issues as the first order concern.

• Action Cluster is a basic unit of participation. It is a team of technology

providers and one or more municipal partners. Action Cluster may choose

to be affiliated with a SuperCluster.

• SuperCluster is a collaboration of Action Clusters with participation from

additional individual entities.

2018 GCTC-Smart and Secure Cities

and Communities Challenge (SC3)

• Many cities and communities are aware of the

cybersecurity, privacy, trustworthiness risks in their

deployments, but not many of them have a clear vision

and expertise to address them.

• Industry stakeholders are eager to address

cybersecurity, privacy, and trustworthiness issues in

smart cities/communities as well, but struggling to find a

clear business and engagement model.

• 2018-2019 GCTC, in partnership with US Department of

Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate

(DHS S&T) will tackle these issues as the first order

concern.

▪ Building on NIST’s Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC)

program, NIST and DHS S&T will run a 12-14 months

program for teams of cities and innovators to demonstrate

value and return on investment for designed-in

trustworthiness for smart city deployments.
