\nAxis<\/a><\/strong> closes the summer with a composite and stratified \u201cAxis Way\u201d<\/strong> day, which is undoubtedly very interesting both in the exhibition area and in conferences. It would be impossible in the available space to account for all the issues emerging and treated during the day; so let\u2019s take a look at what we think is more interesting. First of all, cyber security, quickly expanding as much as necessary, as a direct consequence of the just as fast expanding of the Internet of Things, both in Smart Home<\/strong> and Industrial.<\/strong> This development naturally has the potential to hackers threaten, not only in the home but also in the medical field. Of course, we think of the risks of sabotaging networked medical equipment! The intervention of Professor Luigi Romano of the Department of Engineering of the Naples \u201cParthenope\u201d University<\/strong> has been very comprehensive in outlining the risks rather than possible solutions, and in any case has provided a valid description of the state of the things as far as cyber security is concerned.
\n
\nEven more challenging is the conference on IoT<\/strong> and Smart City<\/strong>, attended by the IT and technology managers<\/strong> of the Municipalities of Genova, Torino<\/strong> and Verona.<\/strong> Talking about Smart City<\/strong> is fine, but as long as you do not compare with who runs and organizes cities, the speech will always be a little too abstract.
\nAxis<\/strong><\/a> has, wisely, subjected to the public\u2019s opinion the work of three authoritative experts in technological and IT administration. What came out of it was a good discussion of Smart City<\/strong> in the near future: a city, but above all an administration, in which the role of citizen and user is complementary to that of the service provider, and in which the services become more streamlined thanks to technology. \u201cReal Time\u201d has been one of the most widely used words to express the ideal mode of service delivery in a Smart City<\/strong>.
\n
\nTwo unresolved issues have also been tackled on time: on the one hand, the need for a coherent and organic vision for the application of the IoT to cities<\/strong>; on the other, the eternal \u2013 and justified \u2013 concern for privacy. It has been quoted (perhaps with a little too much enthusiasm!) the disturbing case of Singapore,<\/strong> a city that has already launched the \u201ccard\u201d of the citizen, through which the entire resume of the individual can be consulted for decide on a hire, a dismissal, even a wedding opportunity!
\nCertainly, Singapore<\/strong>\u2019s culture is far from the European one, but \u2013 although it does not want at all costs to evoke Orwellian ghosts \u2013 perhaps this \u201ccard\u201d is at the same time a demonstration of the potential of Smart City<\/strong> … and its risks!
