The rise of precarious night work is partly due to the changing nature of the labour economy. This is particularly true for delivery and care workers. This report considers municipal strategies as a means to democratise the night-time economy, these include policy proposals and foundational infrastructures. The report makes two fundamental propositions: it calls for setting up a ‘nocturnal commons’ and argues that a key step to democratise the economy is addressing the precarity of night-time workers.

Data breaches, ransomware, destructive malware, insider threats, and even honest mistakes present an ongoing threat to an organization’s infrastructure. Database records, system files, configurations, user files, applications, and customer data are all at risk should an attack occur. Organizations that do not implement identification and protection solutions leave themselves at risk for many types of data integrity attacks. Part of the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence.

How to empower women-led businesses and make public procurement more inclusiveInsights ReportPublic procurement is the government’s largest marketplace and governments engage at all levels of the procurement process. Governments can leverage their roles as “market regulators” via procurement policies and as “market participants” as purchasers of goods, works and services to promote equity and equality. These powers combined have the necessary influence to shift market behavior and stimulate economic activity, towards gender equality goals.

Cybersecurity is a public good that is strongest when the public is given the ability to contribute. A key component to receiving cybersecurity help from the public is to establish a formal policy that describes the activities that can be undertaken in order to find and report vulnerabilities in a legally authorized manner. Such policies enable federal agencies to remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by an adversary – to immense public benefit.Vulnerability disclosure policies enhance the resiliency of the government’s online services by encouraging meaningful collaboration between federal agencies and the public. They make it easier for the public to know where to send a report, what types of testing are authorized for which systems, and what communication to expect. When agencies integrate vulnerability reporting into their existing cybersecurity risk management activities, they can weigh and address a wider array of concerns. This helps safeguard the information the public has entrusted to the government and gives federal cybersecurity teams more data to protect their agencies. Additionally, ensuring consistent policies across the Executive Branch offers those who report vulnerabilities equivalent protection and a more uniform experience.A vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) is an essential element of an effective enterprise vulnerability management program and critical to the security of internet-accessible federal information systems. This directive requires each agency to develop and publish a VDP and maintain supporting handling procedures. It is issued in support of the Office of Management and Budget M-20-32, “Improving Vulnerability Identification, Management, and Remediation”.

In the course of the EU project SMARTER TOGETHER, the city of Vienna decided to develop a data platform for the demonstration projects. With the support of the FIWARE Foundation, the data platform was developed and provisionally implemented with an external cloud solution. The data platform is thus used for the monitoring of the EU project and is suitable for data exchange including visualization with external stakeholders. In addition to the project, the city of Vienna intends to use the data platform as an IoT middleware and data source.
