Study Notes

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0, also known as i4.0, originated from neither the USA nor China and Singapore.

Key Technologies in i4.0

i4.0 encompasses technologies including:
- Digital twins
- Artificial intelligence
- High-speed wireless/wired networks
- Cloud computing
- Virtualization

IoT and i4.0

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a driving force for i4.0. However, these connected devices are vulnerable to cyber security threats.

Digital Twins

A digital twin is a virtual representation, or digital replica, of assets, people, processes, systems, devices and places.
Companies use digital twin technology to develop virtual prototypes of new products and gain insights.

Cybersecurity and Connectivity

The concept of Industry 4.0 relies on connectivity, but this interconnectivity creates cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Cloud computing, essential for i4.0, can be compromised through Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.
DDoS attacks can cause data loss, affecting data confidentiality and integrity.

Human Factors in Cybersecurity

Employee behavior is a significant cause of cybersecurity compromises, including:
- Malicious intentions
- Unintentional errors or omissions

Cybersecurity Awareness, Training, and Education

Cybersecurity awareness and education can serve as a deterrent to fraud and actions by disgruntled employees.
Training increases employee awareness of their responsibilities and potential consequences of cyber security incidents.

Cybersecurity Policies

Cybersecurity awareness policies often require participation from every employee and provide sufficient time to participate.

Cybersecurity Training

Cybersecurity training instructs employees on what they should do and how to do it in relation to cybersecurity.

Social engineering exploits human psychology to gain unauthorized access to information.
Examples include:
- Phone calls: claiming to be a system administrator and requesting a password
- Emails: claiming an account issue with a bank and including a link to obtain a password
Spear phishing targets individuals with tailored information and creates a higher chance of success.

Cybersecurity Scams

Phishing links appear in top Google search results.
Scammers create fake social media accounts to impersonate friends.
Vishing attacks involve telephone calls where scammers spoof phone numbers to appear legitimate, often from known institutions, like banks.

Cybersecurity Compliance

Cybersecurity compliance involves adherence to standards and regulatory requirements set by authorities.
Compliance benefits include:
- Identifying and preparing for potential data breaches
- Improving an organization's security position
- Building customer confidence and loyalty

Cybersecurity Implementation

Implementing a thorough compliance program requires forming a compliance team.
Cybersecurity controls can be technical (passwords) or physical (security cameras, fences).
