Abstract

Currently Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) support most of the industrial manufacturing processes. The IT revolution has brought an important transformation in organizations with high impacts, which are comparable to the mechanization and electricity brought in the first and second industrial revolution. This evolvement has promoted the emergence of cloud-based systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Industry 4.0, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) trends. However, new technological solutions always carry security vulnerabilities, which most of time reveal unexpected risks. In fact, with increasing reliance on technology to gain competitive advantage, security issues have been one of the most critical and challenging requirements for conducting successful business. In this paper, it is highlighted some reflections regarding the challenges of Industry 4.0 emphasizing the security issues, towards raising awareness for security good practices within Industry 4.0.

  • In Industry 4.0, the cooperation of multiple partners such as suppliers in the network makes the task easier for criminals as their attacks can have many pathways and spread very fast.

    “In industry 4.0, the cooperation of multiple partners, such as suppliers in the network, makes the task easier for these criminals as their attacks can have many pathways and spread very fast.”

    From A Review of Cybersecurity Guidelines for Manufacturing Factories in Industry 4.0 (2021) · cites this paper as [20]

    The “Supply Chain and the Extended Systems” section says attackers can exploit supplier vulnerabilities and that a vulnerability can reach other organizational processes through dependent actors. The “Enterprise Cyber-Espionage” section also links heightened threats to cooperation among network partners. Neither passage establishes that attacks spread very fast or have many pathways; page numbers are not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Well organized groups of cyber criminals have made Industry 4.0 their favourite target to steal sensitive information and intellectual property.

    “Well organized groups of cyber criminals have made industry 4.0 their favourite target to steal sensitive information and intellectual property.”

    From A Review of Cybersecurity Guidelines for Manufacturing Factories in Industry 4.0 (2021) · cites this paper as [20]

    The 'Enterprise Cyber-Espionage, Confidential Information and Intellectual Property' section (page unavailable) says well-organized cybercriminal groups target specific industries to steal sensitive information and intellectual property. It says Industry 4.0 is more vulnerable to cyber-espionage, but does not say it is those groups’ favourite target. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The major security threats faced by an Industry 4.0 factory can be classified into categories including cyber espionage, denial-of-service, supply chain and extended systems, and smart security and smart factory.

    “The major security threats faced by an industry 4.0 factory can be classified into the following categories [20]:”
  • Due to smart and connected business processes, Industry 4.0 is vulnerable to cyber espionage.

    “Due to smart and connected business processes, industry 4.0 is vulnerable to cyber espionage.”
  • The theft of corporate and product data is becoming very common, especially software and functionalities that are easy to copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
