The fourth industrial (Industry 4.0) revolution represents a shift in technology and thinking about value-adding processes. It includes several critical infrastructures, which are needed to make the different technologies come together to create better products, more effective and efficient production processes. It is therefore important to improve the understanding of formal models for adversary placement and interaction in distributed cyber-physical systems. It is also important to look at the human side of security and privacy when doing digital transformation. Innovation to better understanding of fast learning with the use of laboratories, catapult centers and learning factories to real life problems is essential. Using the mini-production lines of Manufacturing Technology Catapult Center (MTNC) and the production lines, called learning factory for simulation and testing and setting up these laboratory production lines as equals to real production lines will give unprecedented insights into the various testing mechanisms and a better understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities of Industry 4.0 production lines.

The key technologies that boost Industry 4.0 are the Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud computing, Machine Learning, Security, Big Data, Blockchain, Deep learning, Digitalization, Digital Twins, Cyber-physical system (CPS), Advanced Analytics, Robotics, and Cognitive Computing. These technologies can expand the attack surface of industry 4.0. Furthermore, information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) are being integrated, a new range of security issues can also arise which require the defence of both IT and OT.

The workshop on cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 will provide a discussion platform for researchers in the field and an opportunity to share novel research on the topic.

Supported by the Center for Research-based Innovation (SFI) Norwegian Center for Cybersecurity in Critical Sectors (NORCICS) and the International Alliance for Strengthening Cybersecurity and Privacy in Healthcare (CybAlliance) project and the European Knowledge Hub and Policy Testbed for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EUCIP) project.

Keynote 1:  Engaging SMEs in the twin transition.
Most manufacturing SMEs do not have the time and/or resources to do the research, translate the results to “better business” and at the same time avoid risk connected to implementation of new technology. The times we live in is just overwhelming in so many ways, that some stick their head in the sand, hope for the best and go on with their traditional business. In Norway, as in other places in Europe, many of these companies are corner stones of their local village. If they do not make it through the current industrial revolution, the crisis is much bigger for Norway than for the company itself. Norwegian Catapult is designed to provide competence and test infrastructure so SMEs can evolve, continue their business, or start new ones, and continue to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable society. In this keynote the CEO of Manufacturing Technology Norwegian Catapult will talk about the experience of finding the key to how to help SMEs finding ways to start or improve manufacturing business in one of the most expensive countries in the world.

About the speaker:
Emma Østerbø has been participating in and/or managing projects in manufacturing industry for almost two decades. Educated in Sweden, custom made for a job at Volvo, she ended up in the Norwegian countryside, at Raufoss. The Raufoss industry is the most robot-populated in Norway and 60 companies in the region are all globally competitive in automotive, defense, energy and more. Now as the CEO of the industrial cluster NCE Manufacturing (Norwegian Centre of Expertise), certified with the ECEI Gold Label and CEO of Manufacturing Technology Norwegian Catapult center she has taken on the role to share the competence of the cluster to the rest of Norway, with focus on SMEs. “Industryfluencer” on Instagram is her effort to de-mystify manufacturing industry to the public.

Keynote 2: Dynamic Risk Assessment for Industry 4.0
In the age of Industry 4.0, the integration of cyber-physical systems within industrial control environments presents significant opportunities alongside critical challenges, particularly in ensuring resilience. This talk, "Dynamic Risk Assessment for Industry 4.0," explores advanced methodologies for dynamic and adaptive risk assessment to address risks arising from both intentional and accidental root causes. By providing an overview of dynamic and adaptive risk assessment methods, we delve into the synergy of probabilistic techniques and expert insights to construct comprehensive risk models. These models are illustrated through realistic examples, demonstrating their suitability in various scenarios. Drawing on comprehensive research and advanced frameworks, this talk highlights the importance of adaptive, integrated approaches to risk assessment, ensuring the resilience of critical industrial systems in an increasingly interconnected world.
