Cyber Security Applications for Industry 4.0 (CSAI 4.0) provides integrated features of various disciplines in Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering which are defined to be Smart systems. It is paramount that Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provide accurate, real-time monitoring and control for smart applications and services. With better access to information from real-time manufacturing systems in industrial sectors, the CPS aim to increase the overall equipment effectiveness, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Industry 4.0 technologies are already enabling numerous applications in a variety of industries. Nonetheless, legacy systems and inherent vulnerabilities in an organization's technology, including limited security mechanisms and logs, make the move to smart systems particularly challenging. Features: Proposes a conceptual framework for Industry 4.0-based Cyber Security Applications concerning the implementation aspect Creates new business models for Industrialists on Control Systems and provides productive workforce transformation Outlines the potential development and organization of Data Protection based on strategies of cybersecurity features and planning to work in the new area of Industry 4.0 Addresses the protection of plants from the frost and insects, automatic hydroponic irrigation techniques, smart industrial farming and crop management in agriculture relating to data security initiatives The book is primarily aimed at industry professionals, academicians, and researchers for a better understanding of the secure data transition between the Industry 4.0 enabled connected systems and their limitations

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Information & Operational Technology (IT & OT) security systems, IOSec 2019 , the First International Workshop on Model-driven Simulation and Training Environments, MSTEC 2019, and the First International Workshop on Security for Financial Critical Infrastructures and Services, FINSEC 2019, held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, in September 2019, in conjunction with the 24th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2019. The IOSec Workshop received 17 submissions from which 7 full papers were selected for presentation. They cover topics related to security architectures and frameworks for enterprises, SMEs, public administration or critical infrastructures, threat models for IT & OT systems and communication networks, cyber-threat detection, classification and pro ling, incident management, security training and awareness, risk assessment safety and security, hardware security, cryptographic engineering, secure software development, malicious code analysis as well as security testing platforms. From the MSTEC Workshop 7 full papers out of 15 submissions are included. The selected papers deal focus on the verification and validation (V&V) process, which provides the operational community with confidence in knowing that cyber models represent the real world, and discuss how defense training may benefit from cyber models. The FINSEC Workshop received 8 submissions from which 3 full papers and 1 short paper were accepted for publication. The papers reflect the objective to rethink cyber-security in the light of latest technology developments (e.g., FinTech, cloud computing, blockchain, BigData, AI, Internet-of-Things (IoT), mobile-first services, mobile payments).

The Internet of Things (IoT) has made revolutionary advances in the utility grid as we know it. Among these advances, intelligent medical services are gaining much interest. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing day after day in fighting one of the most significant viruses, COVID-19. The purpose of this book is to present the detailed recent exploration of AI and IoT in the COVID-19 pandemic and similar applications. The integrated AI and IoT paradigm is widely used in most medical applications, as well as in sectors that deal with transacting data every day. This book can be used by computer science undergraduate and postgraduate students; researchers and practitioners; and city administrators, policy makers, and government regulators. It presents a smart and up-to-date model for COVID-19 and similar applications. Novel architectural and medical use cases in the smart city project are the core aspects of this book. The wide variety of topics it presents offers readers multiple perspectives on a variety of disciplines. Prof. Dr. Fadi Al-Turjman received his PhD in computer science from Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 2011. He is a full professor and research center director at Near East University, Nicosia, Cyprus.
