Title of Presentation:

Cybersecurity Paradigm in Smart Manufacturing

Synopsis

The ISACA Belgrade Chapter Annual Event presents an insightful lecture on the cutting-edge topic of "Cybersecurity Paradigm in Smart Manufacturing." As Industry 4.0 continues to revolutionize the manufacturing sector, integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) into production processes, this lecture delves into the critical realm of cybersecurity within this evolving landscape. The lecture aims to illuminate the pivotal role that cybersecurity plays in safeguarding smart manufacturing systems against the backdrop of IoT proliferation. As factories and production lines become increasingly interconnected, the vulnerability to cyber threats amplifies. The lecture underlines the need for a paradigm shift in approaching cybersecurity, moving from a reactive stance to a proactive strategy that encompasses prevention, detection, and mitigation of cyber risks. The presentation will cover fundamental cybersecurity concepts tailored to Industry 4.0, highlighting the challenges and complexities posed by IoT devices in manufacturing environments. Attendees will gain an understanding of how these interconnected devices create new avenues for potential attacks, emphasizing the urgency of secure design, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring. Moreover, the lecture will provide real-world case studies and examples to underscore the potential consequences of cyber breaches in smart manufacturing, ranging from production downtime to compromised product quality. Presenter, who is expert in IoT technologies and industry 4.0, will offer insights into best practices for implementing robust cybersecurity measures while maintaining operational efficiency.

Predavanje ima za cilj da osvetli ključnu ulogu koju sajber bezbednost igra u zaštiti pametnih proizvodnih sistema u svetlu naglog porasta zastupljenosti interneta stvari. Kako fabrike i proizvodne linije postaju sve više međusobno povezane, ranjivost na sajber pretnje se povećava. Predavanje podvlači potrebu za promenom paradigme u pristupu sajber bezbednosti, prelazeći sa reaktivnog stava na proaktivnu strategiju koja obuhvata prevenciju, otkrivanje i ublažavanje sajber rizika.

Predavanje će pokriti osnovne koncepte sajber bezbednosti prilagođene Industriji 4.0, naglašavajući izazove i složenost koje postavljaju IoT uređaji u proizvodnim okruženjima. Učesnici će steći razumevanje o tome kako ovi međusobno povezani uređaji stvaraju nove puteve za potencijalne napade, naglašavajući važnost bezbednog dizajna, segmentacije mreže i kontinuiranog nadgledanja.

Štaviše, predavanje će pružiti studije slučaja iz stvarnog sveta i primere koji će naglasiti potencijalne posledice sajber incidenata u pametnoj proizvodnji, u rasponu od zastoja u proizvodnji do ugroženog kvaliteta proizvoda. Govornik koji je stučnjak za IoT tehnologije i industriju 4.0, ponudiće uvid u najbolje prakse za primenu robusnih mera sajber bezbednosti uz održavanje operativne efikasnosti.

Title of Presentation:

What Can Ethics Teach Us About Emerging Technologies?

Synopsis

What can ethics teach us about emerging technologies? Is it possible to address ethical issues in the same way we handle cybersecurity matters?

Ethical systems delineate the moral values and codes of conduct within societies and social groups, and they can be applied to various human domains, such as politics or business. In the 1970s, ethics began to be applied to healthcare, medicine, biological research, biotechnology, and environmental issues. Consequently, bioethics emerged, addressing concerns related to organ donation and transplantation, genetic research, assisted dying, and environmental matters amidst a global social crisis and the revelation of various malpractices in medical policies (eugenics, animal testing). There arose a need to contemplate the right course of action for biological research, public health, social work, and environmental issues. Bioethics not only introduced new ethical theories but also established ethics committees and bioethicists in hospitals to help navigate dilemmas and contradictions.

Presently, emerging technologies are also introducing new risks associated with various forms of bias, lack of transparency, addiction, information bubbles, social manipulation, and threats to democracies, as witnessed in elections worldwide. As a result, ethical frameworks tailored to AI and other emerging technologies have been developed in recent years: these frameworks transform ethical theories into actionable steps that can be employed in the creation of responsible technologies.

What are the key principles of these frameworks? How can we implement them? What types of competencies are required?
