Cybersecurity Challenges for Industry 4.0
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, is seen as the next step after the industrialization of computer automation that has occurred over the past fifty years. This new revolution is driven by buzzwords such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), integrated cyber-physical systems, big data, artificial intelligence and digital twins. It's no different in the chemical industry. But no matter how they make facilities "smarter," all of these technologies have two things in common: they are data-driven and require hyper-connectivity. These two characteristics represent the next big challenge for cybersecurity in these industrial environments.
