Resilient critical infrastructures for Factory 4.0

In the context of the factory of the future, the technological evolution of industrial control systems (ICS) has led to the digitization of production systems, their connection with the company's information systems and the rise of industrial IoT.

This evolution makes these systems as well as nationwide infrastructures such as transport, energy and telecommunication networks very vulnerable to computer malicious acts.

Taking into account the inherent legal, political, economic and technical factors of the industry, the Cybersecurity Institute aims to deliver a comprehensive solution for the enhancement of the resilience of the “Factory 4.0” against cyberattacks including “secure by design” infrastructures, components and processes.
