URL has a proven track on research and technology transfer action about “Data & Security”. The focus on this domain is related to the importance that it is acquiring in Industry 4.0.
Indeed, the vast amount of data generated daily across society and companies is the trigger for the Industry 4.0 revolution. In this context, the ability to manage and exploit the information generated from data fosters both improvement and innovation.
However, all this data and the interconnected systems of the Industry 4.0 should be carefully protected. The threat of cyberattacks is worrying many different critical infrastructure environments such as Smart Grids, finance, public health, transportation systems, alarm and security services, Smart Cities and Industry 4.0 services in general.
For these reasons, Industry 4.0 creates specific challenges to be faced to satisfy the companies’ need to connect heterogeneous technologies operating on the plant floor to a network that can monitor, measure, store, and retrieve data. This allows to automate the industry processes and make it more efficient and effective despite the heterogeneous, distributed and interconnected nature of Industry 4.0, but at the same time it will increase data vulnerabilities to be managed. These are the main aspects that IO4 addresses with the aim to create new operators and managers able to deal with them.
