| dc.description.abstract | The dynamic evolutions of Cyber Physical Systems in the Industry 4.0 context
are considered, their inherent complexity and pertinent interfaces are examined
contemplating the influence of the current security environments and their future
trends. The increased number of spheres of influence affecting the Cyber Security of
Cyber Physical Systems generate an escalation of the required interpretations for
enabling a secure system, consequently organizations have encountered hindrance
towards the required security targets.
It is intended with the present work to comprehend the convolutions surrounding
the organizations interpretation of securing a Cyber Physical System, subjected on
selected topics, aiming to elucidate influencing factors and their relationships.
The research conducts an introductory investigation of the perceptions of
influencing factors for secured Cyber Physical Systems, namely the digitalization
trend, reference architectures and their heterogeneity in Industry 4.0, application
domain nuances, Cyber Security trends and its latest technological developments.
Consequently, it surveys the Cyber Physical Systems and Cyber Security associations
reviewing the present industrial landscape through references to organizations cultural
and strategical facets and typical employed governance. Due to the unique features
of a Cyber Physical System, the latter is further probed accounting for deployment
review during the lifecycle. The objective is to assess omissions which influence the
application of Cyber Security in Cyber Physical Systems, with particular incidence in
the organizations, governance and, technology contexts, where improvements and
recommendations in the organizations security culture and, governance interpretation
and application of the IEC 62443 are derived and leaving further observations which
can support the development of future researches. | |
