Model Cities for Simulating Cybersecurity

Apropos our February 15 Alternative Unknowns modeling exercise, in which we imagined what would happen in a smart city during a power outage: Mariann has shared information about model environments, test beds, where government, military, and security officials test cybersecurity by simulating attacks on, and devising defenses for, critical infrastructure. These models come in both physical and virtual form.

Thanks, Mariann!
