The study then proposes key recommendations for stakeholders in order to enhance the level of cyber security in Smart Cities: - Municipalities should support the development of a harmonised cyber security framework - The European Commission and Member States should foster knowledge exchange and collaboration in cyber security among industry, Member States and municipalities - IPT Operators should develop a clear definition of their security requirements - IPT Operators and Municipalities should allocate higher spending on cyber security - Manufacturers and solution vendors should integrate security in their products- IPT Operators and Municipalities should define the responsibilities of senior management in cyber security - The European Commission and Member States should clarify the responsibilities of every actor - Smart Cities and standard organisations should integrate cyber security in the maturity level of Smart Cities.
