Smart city data, operations, and security

This post details how Elastic enables the unification of smart city data by bridging Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) environments. It explains the architecture using Elastic Agent managed by Fleet for normalizing data from legacy industrial protocols and modern IoT sources into Elastic Cloud. The post emphasizes the value of correlating OT and IT data for real-time operational insight, faster incident response, and improved decision-making through Kibana dashboards. It also highlights the importance of geospatial data for context and discusses security considerations for connected OT infrastructure, including Zero Trust principles and MITRE ATT&CK® for ICS mapping.
