Topic Abstract: <\/strong>
\nThe 4th industrial revolution is commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. At the moment, the trend with manufacturing industries is automation and unparalleled levels of data exchange, relying on the integration of the Internet of Things. Industry 4.0 introduces us to a hyperconnected system that includes the smarter use of robotics to effectively and efficiently move manufacturing to a new height. However, with all these technological systems, it is important to ensure that cybersecurity plays a role during the rise of this digital industrial revolution. In the United Kingdom, more than 80 manufacturing plants were hit by cyberattacks, while threats in this specific industry have risen. The pitfalls of having hyperconnected systems leave an entire industry even more vulnerable than the traditional enterprise system design.<\/p>\n

Students learn that the manufacturing floor could serve as a place that allows an attacker to gather critical data from devices and inflict damage on any of the products being produced. Take, for instance, an attacker, a nation-state or otherwise, that targets a seed in development. A food shortage is one outcome; another is that the attacker could make the victim nation-state reliant on them for food or supplies, altering how well its government functions. This is but one of several critical infrastructure sectors poorly protected, yet it is steadily increasing the use of technology.<\/p>\n
