Case Study: SmartCities NYC advances smart city connectivity and security with Sectrio

SmartCities NYC - Customer Case Study

SmartCities NYC embarked on a journey to implement a smart city program, facing the challenge of selecting a secure and open technology backbone that would avoid vendor lock-in and protect sensitive city and resident data from growing cybersecurity threats. To address this, the city partnered with the vendor Sectrio to enhance their security posture.

The solution implemented by Sectrio provided a robust security overlay for the city's LoRaWAN-based infrastructure. Sectrio's platform used a three-tier detection strategy to monitor devices and data transmissions, identifying threats in real-time. This partnership also included the establishment of an IoT security lab in the city to raise cybersecurity awareness. The measurable impact was a significantly strengthened security framework that enabled the secure deployment of critical services, including an Advanced Metering Infrastructure water system and in-home IoT devices for residents, all while fostering local innovation and education.
