This scientific paper emphasizes the paradigm of Industry 4.0 from the perspective of cybersecurity, in which if there are digitalized factories and a digital chain connected to them, there is also the need of an amplified security system, and the usual IT security procedures are not enough to protect the production lines. This article treats general concepts from IT security’s perspective, as well as OT’s security, and also about the joining of those two into a holistic approach combining people, processes and technology to properly defend against threats and build a security baseline. Digitization matter and analysis of industrial system evolution is taken into consideration in this paperwork, correlating them with cybersecurity. Ever evolving environment of technology influences the growth and diversity in the complexity of threats and security risks, such as cyberattacks, and related works in the IT domain gives new security challenges.

This paper describes a general-purpose control standard and demonstrates its implementation as part of a controller-effector assembly. It elaborates on the specific layers on which the standard is defined: an adaptive control structure, a data transmission protocol and its corresponding instruction set. The aforementioned effector component consists of a reduced form factor robotics platform capable of remote controlled movement and optical inspection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
