A Review of Cybersecurity Guidelines for Manufacturing Factories in Industry 4.0
Résumé
Industry 4.0 is a revolution in manufacturing by introducing disruptive technologies such as
Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-computing into the heart of the factory. The resulting increased automation
and the improved production synergy between stocks, supply chains and customer demands, come along with
the threats and attacks from the Internet. Despite extensive literature on the cybersecurity topic, many actors
in manufacturing factories are just realizing the impact of cybersecurity in the preservation of their business.
This paper introduces step-by-step the concepts and practical aspects of an Industry 4.0 manufacturing
factory that are related to cybersecurity. Based on a subdivision of a typical factory into several generic
perimeters, we present the vulnerabilities and threats regarding the network and devices usually found in
each perimeter. Therefore, it is more efficient to present the recent proposals of the literature regarding
cybersecurity guidelines and solutions in Industry 4.0. Instead of spreading a lot of references regarding every
aspect of cybersecurity, we focused on a limited number of papers among the recent references. However, for
each paper, we provide the details about the purpose of the proposal, the methodology adopted, the technical
solution developed and its evaluation by the authors. These solutions range from classical cybersecurity
countermeasures to innovative ones, such as those based on honeypots and digital twins. In order to deliver
a review also useful to non scientists, we present our guidelines along with those of some organizations
involved in cybersecurity harmonization and standardization in the world.
