Cyber risks in Industry 4.0 – Digital Supply Chain

Abstract

Industry 4.0 i.e. the fourth industrial revolution is dominating the evolution of traditional supply chain structure, by using the intelligent, interconnected platforms and devices i.e. using Internet of Things (IoT). This leads to the evolution of Digital Supply Chain (DSC) systems which are capable to manage the data dynamically i.e. capable of capturing data from points across the value chain and update the information at each point. This leads to better  management of goods and flow of materials, much efficient use of resources, and supplies to meet customer needs. But this digital connectivity among the supply chains, manufacturers, customers and operations; leads to higher risks posed by cyber security threats. The performed work relates to the study of the cyber risks faced by the Digital Supply Chains (DSC)2
