Abstract

Industry 4.0 has evolved traditional industrial processing plants into smarter, more optimised, and efficient processes which provide valuable returns to industry, however the deployment of IIoT connectivity as the enabler of Industry 4.0 has also introduced a significant risk to the cyber physical systems (CPS) which operate industrial plants and processes. Prior to Industry 4.0 industrial control systems were mostly segregated from the outside world and therefore secure by nature. There is currently a lack of understanding of the operations technology (OT) security risks, the impact IIoT can have on CPS and the risk management strategies are needed to protect CPS from the ever-increasing cyber threats on the internet. This research paper identifies the common misunderstandings and knowledge gaps often found in academic journals, particularly around the nature of cyber security risks that are commonly present within CPS and the consequences that can occur as a direct result of weak or insecure IIoT designs and implementations.
