Information Security and Adoptable Solutions in the Implementation of Industry 4.0 Strategy for the Fourth-generation Industrial Revolution

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is recognized as the fourth-generation industrial revolution, which can drive the development of the world’s smart manufacturing industry. The information security in the implementation of Industry 4.0 strategy was analyzed in this article. The specific measures to ensure the information security of Industry 4.0 were proposed from the perspectives of industrial control system security strategy, security measures, security awareness, data security protection, data security responsibility, and encryption technology. Furthermore, the distributed control system and IT network security communication platform construction are applied to solve the information security problem of Industry 4.0. The adoptable solutions will provide an important reference to maintain the information security of Industry 4.0.
