New Springer Book on Cybersecurity for Industry 4.0
In a joint effort, long-standing collaborators Dr. Lane Thames, a leading cybersecurity expert from the US (Tripwire, Inc.) and Prof. Dirk Schaefer published a new book on Cybersecurity aimed at Design and Manufacturing in the context of the smart factories of the future (Industry 4.0).
The book introduces readers to cybersecurity and its impact on the realization of the Industry 4.0 vision. It covers the technological foundations of cybersecurity within the scope of the Industry 4.0 landscape and details the existing cybersecurity threats faced by Industry 4.0, as well as state-of-the-art solutions with regard to both academic research and practical implementations. Industry 4.0 and its associated technologies, such as the Industrial Internet of Things and cloud-based design and manufacturing systems are examined, along with their disruptive innovations. Further, the book analyzes how these phenomena capitalize on the economies of scale provided by the Internet.
The book offers a valuable resource for practicing engineers and decision makers in industry, as well as researchers in the design and manufacturing communities and all those interested in Industry 4.0 and cybersecurity.
