About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research topic is to elicit knowledge that investigates the opportunities brought about by the emerging industry 4.0 such as smart city, smart hospital, smart transport, digital health, and so on. In addition to this, this Research Topic will provide existing knowledge and information on the trend of cyber-attacks in these domains and the best practices to mitigate them. Furthermore, because Internet of Things (IoT) devices are one of the driving forces of automation in industry 4.0, focusing on safe and secure methods of deployment will be of interest.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
• Opportunities of Industry 4.0 and the attendant cyber security risks and countermeasures
• Existing knowledge on AI-based and bio-inspired attacks tools, software applications and their countermeasures
• Information on the trend of cyber-attacks in these domains and the requisite best practices to mitigate them
• Attacks targeting Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the countermeasure, and the secure methods of deployment
• Predict the future of the cyber security scenarios and proactive countermeasure
• Modern cyber situation awareness training in human capital development relevant in Industry 4.0
Keywords: Cyber Situation Awareness, Cyber Hygiene, Online Safe Practices, Artificial Intelligence-Based Attacks, Cyber Attacks, Bio-Inspired Attacks, Industry 4.0, Incidence Response and Management
