Information security breaches and precautions on Industry 4.0

Abstract

The object of research is fourth industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution has been a blend of technologies that lead to the creation of a «smart» and versatile «cyber-physical'» production environment. It has included various intelligent sensors, personal configuration robots, 3D printers, communication channels that is used for large data analysis and large data collecting. These communication channels have too many risks in terms of personal or public information security. At the beginning of this innovation period, legal regulations and standards have been ignored just as in the first, second and third revolutions. Cyber security has not operated in full capacity today because the technologies, concepts and protocols that used for the operations of industry have not been connected to each other. In this perspective, it can be said that in Industry 4.0 cyber security has been so important and it is the subject of this research. This study is intended to investigate information security vulnerabilities and measures in Industry 4.0. A security plan which is proportional to organizational structures for the identification of cyber security protocols for Industry 4.0 is proposed. With the proposed approach plans, information security can be ensured in Industry 4.0 and valuable information can be protected against attacks.
