CYBERSECURITY STRATEGIES IN INDUSTRY 4.0

Abstract

Cybersecurity is now the one of the highest important part of the Industry 4.0 and to all the design and manufacturing companies. This paper presents new cybersecurity strategies in Industry 4.0, where current vulnerabilities and exploitation processes, possible attack vectors, attack, compromise, and performance indicators should be considered. Also, cyber risk in product lifecycle management is a very important aspect. This revealed authentication issues, unsecured communications, default deployment issues, susceptibility to physical attacks. For example, a successful cyberattack could bring subtle changes to the control parameters of a robot or of a manufacturing process. This can further change the robot's operating mode in an almost undetectable way, but instead alters the efficiency and integrity of the final product. By monitoring these behaviours, cataloguing indicators, and inspecting potential risks, we can determine how an attacker gains access to the network and predict the intent they had. We need well-trained staff in any enterprise to drastically reduce the risk of cyberattacks. For this reason, appropriate measures must be taken to solve these problems, and one of these is cybersecurity education. It is necessary to implement appropriate policies and risk reduction plans in the product lifecycle management to prevent possible cyber-attacks.
