There is a strong disconnect between cybersecurity and small to medium sized organizations that are members of Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 (I4) is considered the 4th industrial revolution where automation and data exchange co-exist in manufacturing technologies. This next phase of industry includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things (IoT), cloud computing and cognitive computing. This report will survey three specific areas in relation to Industry 4.0 and its impact on the security of the supply chain: Automotive Cybersecurity, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Data Protection in the Manufacturing Industry.
