About

Isabella Reithner is a researcher focused on the intersection of cybersecurity and industrial automation, with key contributions to securing intelligent production environments in the context of Industry 4.0. Her work addresses the critical challenge of protecting cyber-physical production systems, particularly by analyzing the segmentation and security of IT and OT networks within smart factories. In her most-cited paper, "Development and Implementation of a Secure Production Network" (2020, 7 citations), she explores the vulnerabilities that arise from the automation of ordering, production, and shipping processes, proposing practical solutions for network security. Reithner further advances this field in her 2021 study, "Analysis of the Interaction Between Safety and Security Demonstrated on a Mobile Robot and a Production Network" (2 citations), where she investigates the complex interplay between functional safety and cybersecurity—a crucial area as autonomous transport systems become integral to intralogistics. By demonstrating these interactions on a mobile robot platform, she provides actionable insights for designing resilient production networks. Though her citation counts are modest, her work is foundational for researchers and practitioners seeking to balance automation efficiency with robust security measures in the evolving industrial landscape.
