Description
Industrial Security focuses on protecting the cyber-physical systems and operational technologies that underpin modern industry. This includes industrial automation and control systems (IACS), SCADA systems, smart grids, building management systems, and connected devices in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and critical infrastructure. As organizations increasingly interconnect IT and OT in the era of Industry 4.0, their attack surface grows and security incidents can lead not only to data loss, but also to physical damage, safety risks, and large-scale service disruptions.
This seminar deals with various aspects of industrial security. The format represents an academic conference, including paper writing, submission, review, rebuttal, revision, presentation, and discussion.
Possible topics originate from areas such as: Security of Industrial Communication Protocols; Industrial Device Bootstrapping; Automotive Cybersecurity; Railway Cybersecurity; Security and Trust in Process Chains; Machine Safety; Usable Security; OT Security
The final list of topics will be presented in the Pre-course Meeting.
