Currently, society is going through a health event with devastating results. In their desire to control the 2019 coronavirus disease, large organizations have turned over the execution of their activities to the use of information technology. These tools, adapted to the use of the Internet, have been presented as an effective solution to the measures implemented by the majority of nations where quarantines are generalized. However, the solution given by information technologies has several disadvantages that must be solved. The most important in this regard is with the serious security incidents that exist, where many organizations have been compromised and their data has been exposed. As a solution, this work proposes the design of a guide that allows for the implementation of a computer incident response team on a university campus. Universities are optimal environments for the generation of new technologies; they also serve as the ideal test bed for the generation of security policies and new treatments for incidents in an organization. In addition, with the implementation of the computer incident response team in a university, it is proposed to be part of a response group to any security incident at the national level.

The inclusion of Internet of Things (IoT) for building smart cities, smart health, smart grids, and other smart concepts has driven data-driven decision making by managers and automation in each domain. However, the hyper-connectivity generated by IoT networks coupled with limited default security in IoT devices increases security risks that can jeopardize the operations of cities, hospitals, and organizations. Strengthening the security aspects of IoT devices prior to their use in different systems can contribute to minimize the attack surface. This study aimed to model a sequence of seven steps to minimize the attack surface by executing hardening processes. Conducted a systematic literature review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) techniques. In this way, we were able to define a proposed methodology to evaluate the security level of an IoT solution by means of a checklist that considers the security aspects in the three layers of the IoT architecture. A risk matrix adapted to IoT is established to evaluate the attack surface. Finally, a process of hardening and vulnerability analysis is proposed to reduce the attack surface and improve the security level of the IoT solution.

The management and consumption of resources in cities in sustainable way have been considered a relevant issue worldwide. For that reason, the New Urban Agenda defines a set of sustainable development objectives-SDG for the year 2030. On the other hand, consumerism behaviors by people have had a considerable increase since of the Second World War period. Achieving sustainability objectives requires the establishment of policies and standards as enabling elements, but they must go hand in hand with a cultural change on the people aligned with the strategies to achieve sustainability. The purpose of this study is the development of a comprehensive analysis of the cultural beliefs that influence in the behavioral aspects of people and how they could affect the achievement of the development of sustainability in cities and how some technologies like big data, IoT, and IA, can be used to analyze these behaviors and improve the decision-making processes in city managers.

At present, university campuses integrate technologies such as the internet of things, cloud computing, and big data, among others, which provide support to the campus to improve their resource management processes and learning models. Integrating these technologies into a centralized environment allows for the creation of a controlled environment and, subsequently, an intelligent environment. These environments are ideal for generating new management methods that can solve problems of global interest, such as resource consumption. The integration of new technologies also allows for the focusing of its efforts on improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. However, the comfort and benefits of technology must be developed in a sustainable environment where there is harmony between people and nature. For this, it is necessary to improve the energy consumption of the smart campus, which is possible by constantly monitoring and analyzing the data to detect any anomaly in the system. This work integrates a big data framework capable of analyzing the data, regardless of its format, providing effective and efficient responses to each process. The method developed is generic, which allows for its application to be adequate in addressing the needs of any smart campus.

The following document presents metrics and pointers for datacenter performance evaluation, whose production workflow will be improved by a parallel computing software, each cluster instance was virtualized providing for scalability and availability for every person who access to the system at different locations. Apache spark will be used as parallel processing distribution through different scenarios, each one will handle workload on physical and virtual nodes, after the collection of time response a comparations will be realized for determinate if the parallel distribution is an ideal solution for guarantee processing requirements.
