Hello and welcome to the Thursday, February 13th, 2025 edition of the Sands Internet Storm Center's Stormcast.

My name is Johannes Ulrich, and I'm recording from Jacksonville, Florida.

Well, today we got a diary from Ejing, and Eijing is writing actually about a scientific paper that he and his colleagues

are about to publish that deals with smart city infrastructure. Smart cities, of course,

a big deal. Ijing is from Singapore, which has heavily signed up to implement smart city

technologies.

And it's kind of nice to see that people are already thinking about how to defend

smart city technologies and how to securely implement them.

And it's a little bit sort of what the Ejing's post is about.

They look in particular at scope.

Scope is an ontology in order to describe Smart City threats.

Now, just for those of you who don't know,

ontologies are essentially used to define a standardized vocabulary

when you're dealing with a subject matter.

You can, for example, see like the Miter Attack Framework

and such as an ontology. Scope is

specifically targeting

smart cities. Sadly,

well, what Ejing found, it's

not quite as applicable as

they hoped yet for smart

city threats and for more details
