Situational Awareness provides a user centric approach to security and privacy. The human factor is often recognised as the weakest link in security, therefore situational perception and risk awareness play a leading role in the adoption and implementation of security mechanisms. In this study we assess the understanding of security and privacy of users in possession of wearable devices. The findings demonstrate privacy complacency, as the majority of users trust the application and the wearable device manufacturer.
FORCES is designed to help protect the nation's critical infrastructure from attack and to ensure its robust, secure and efficient operation. Specifically, FORCES aims to increase the resilience of large-scale networked cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the key areas of energy delivery, transportation, and energy management in buildings.
Traditionally, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been built using domain-specific closed architectures with self-contained resources. This traditional approach is inadequate for smart city solutions, which are inherently multi-domain and require crossing conventional organizational and infrastructure boundaries.

To realize the full benefits of the Internet of Things and Big Data and to build the foundation for future technologies that convert data to "insight", there is an urgent need for a targeted and coordinated government initiative similar to that which sparked the semiconductor revolution fifty years ago--a "National Computing and Insight Technologies Ecosystem" initiative (N-CITE). This new initiative will spur major advances in the science and technology of information systems and unleash broad opportunities for innovation.
