Security Engineering for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems

Digital transformation, also known as Industry 4.0, Smart Industry, and Smart Manufacturing, is at the top of leaders’ agendas. Such a transformation stimulates innovation in new products and services, the digital transformation of processes, and the creation of new business models and ecosystems. In the world of manufacturing, Industry 4.0 is based on various technological advances, among which we can mainly cite CPS (cyber-physical systems), IoT (Internet of Things), and IoS (internet of services).


While engaging, this fourth wave also brings significant challenges for manufacturers. Business operations and the supply chain are becoming more vulnerable to cyber threats.
