The manufacturing industry is undergoing drastic digital transformations and revolutions in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Thanks to new automation, communication, and computation technologies, modern manufacturing systems are becoming smarter, more capable, more flexible, and more connected. However, the introduction of these new technologies also induces new vulnerabilities and exposes manufacturing systems to a variety of cyber and cyber-physical attacks. This poses an urgent need to develop effective attack prevention, detection, and mitigation techniques that are specifically tailored for manufacturing systems. This Special Issue is focused on novel methodologies, techniques, applications, and investigations for securing modern manufacturing enterprises. Some of the topics in this Special Issue are as follows, but they do not represent an exhaustive list. Please feel free to contact the Guest Editors to ensure that your submission is appropriate for this Special Issue.
Topic Areas
- Attack detection and process/product authentication for manufacturing
- Data security, privacy, and intellectual property (IP) protection for manufacturing
- Digital twin security for manufacturing
- Legal and policy aspects of manufacturing security
- Manufacturing IoT and IIoT cybersecurity and privacy
- Process/product/system design for cybersecurity
- Resilience and recovery of manufacturing from cyber attacks
- Secure communication protocols and blockchain for manufacturing
- Security architectures and security by design for manufacturing
- Supply chain security of materials and energy
