The conflict between attackers and defenders is going to the next level. The battleground: a city whose economy is built on the latest technologies. City infrastructure includes an electrical plant and substation, railroad, energy-efficient smart homes, and banks with ATMs and self-service kiosks. And of course, what modern city would be complete without online services, mobile networks, and the Internet?
A major transport hub, the city is busy with movement of petroleum products, passengers, and cargo. All the action is managed by myriad smart information systems.
Residents' communications needs are ably met by a single provider, which offers the usual array of services, including mobile and landline Internet, plus package deals on text messaging. But even here, spam and never-ending telemarketing calls are a frequent nuisance.
An ordinary place of work with tables, chairs, and water coolers. Five days a week, the office comes alive with the din of phone calls and clatter of keyboards. Thousands of devices are hard at work too: a mail server, Wi-Fi routers, networked multifunction printers, and of course, computers with massive client databases…
The city's residents are all too ordinary: they open accounts, take out loans, start small businesses, and cheat on their taxes. They have eagerly taken to ATMs, e-banking, and card-to-card transactions.
Smart home systems are at the center of everyday life, just like in real-world cities. These devices are in charge of lighting, heating, ventilation, locks, and home video surveillance.
The heart of CityF, pulsing with the heat and power needed to serve a population of thousands.
A mainstay of the city economy. Oil is stored, refined, and transported all around the clock.
