Designing an Information Security System in Smart Factories of the Industry 4.0

Abstract

The problem of designing an information security system in smart factories of Industry 4.0 is investigated. Information security system is a company infrastructure component to provide the company information security. In the example of typical smart factory structure cyber and physical components are defined which are mostly susceptible to the malicious software components implementations. Such components could be components with their own means of calculations and engaged in the production technological operations. Smart factory information security risks can be explained with program and technical means for the operator to control the cyber and physical configuration remotely and other components of the production infrastructure into a single digital space of the company. Measures are proposed to increase the information security level of the Industry 4.0 smart factory based on technical, organization and program solutions.
