GAO Case Studies

U.S. – New York City Transportation Cybersecurity Overhaul

ICity Tek implemented a cybersecurity solution for New York City's ITS network. After a major ransomware scare, we deployed secure gateways, endpoint protection, and network monitoring tools. The project reduced intrusion attempts by 87% and ensured 24/7 system uptime across city transit lines.

U.S. – Austin Smart Grid Protection Initiative

Facing cyber threats on its energy distribution system, Austin’s municipal utility turned to ICity Tek. We provided a hybrid solution of HSMs, firewall upgrades, and anomaly detection, helping secure over 500,000 endpoints and achieving full compliance with NERC CIP standards.

Canada – Toronto Smart Building Cybersecurity Integration

Toronto’s downtown smart buildings, part of a sustainability-focused redevelopment, required scalable and secure IT/OT convergence. ICity Tek delivered a unified security platform with IAM, SIEM integration, and secure BMS communication protocols, enhancing security posture across all properties.
