# Prospects of Cybersecurity in Smart Cities
## 5 Discussion
The PANTHEON project presents the following strategic vision:  
_\"PANTHEON will design and develop a Community based Digital Ecosystem for Disaster Resilience utilizing Smart City Digital Twin (SCDT) technology and leveraging new and emerging technologies and innovations to improve risk assessment, reduce vulnerability, and building community disaster resilience.\"_ (PANTHEON)  
The SCDT approach proposed in PANTHEON refers to a comprehensive framework that combines digital technologies, data analytics, and modeling techniques to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery in a smart city environment. A SCDT is referred to in [PERSON] et al. [90] as a virtual replica or simulation of a city's physical infrastructure, systems, and processes. A SCDT integrates various data sources, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, and real-time data feeds, to create a dynamic representation of the city. SCDT is a cutting-edge concept that contributes to better infrastructure management, urban planning and design, and real-time decision making. [PERSON] et al. [91] argue that digital twins enable city planners and architects to test and visualize various urban planning scenarios before implementing them in the physical world. This helps in optimizing the layout of infrastructure, buildings, transportation networks, and public spaces, leading to more efficient and sustainable cities. Furthermore, the availability of real-time data from an SCDT empowers city officials to make informed and data-driven decisions promptly. [PERSON] et al. [92] provide the example that during emergencies or unexpected events, such as natural disasters or traffic congestion, authorities can quickly assess the situation and respond effectively. Another emerging issue where the roles of cybersecurity and sustainability are aligned is represented in the ambition of the CONCERTO project. _\"Clean Aviation's ambition to go over decisive impactful steps in demonstrated disruptive aircraft performance compatible with 2035 EIS will only be possible if the future regulatory framework is not an impediment to innovation.\"_ (CONCERTO)  
As reported by [PERSON] [93], the aviation industry is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels in aircraft engines. Clean aviation aims to address this issue by adopting various strategies and technologies to increase the sustainability of air travel [94; 95; 96]. Furthermore, CONCERTO project exposes the potential cybersecurity risks raise in this context. As aviation becomes increasingly digitized and connected, with the adoption of technologies such as autonomous systems, IoT devices, and cloud computing, the potential cybersecurity risks also increase. Furthermore, a sustainable organization aims to be resilient and adaptable to various challenges, including cyber threats. Cybersecurity measures play a significant role in safeguarding an organization's ability to continue sustainable practices in the face of potential disruptions or attacks. Therefore, sustainable practices should be integrated into business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Several strategies like redundancy, geographic diversity, and robust backup systems can help organizations to protect data and infrastructure from cyber-attacks, natural disasters, or other disruptive events [97; 98; 99]. Another area addressed by the projects is smart agriculture as in the 3P-Tec project. _\"Changes in climate extremes (e.g., heatwaves, floods and drought) require new breeding technologies to allow farmers to achieve high yields with climate-robust crops.\"_ (3P-Tec)  
Cybersecurity in smart agriculture is a growing concern as the agricultural industry increasingly adopts digital and connected technologies to optimize crop production and management. Smart farming, also known as precision agriculture, involves the use of sensors, drones, IoT, and other technologies to collect data and automate agricultural processes.
