ABSTRACT

Manufacturing systems have gone through massive transformations in the last 40 years. In many cases, these gradual changes transformed the production system components such that they would operate as an interconnected network; today systems of this type are called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). In recent decades, progress in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has added two more attributes to manufacturing systems: "Intelligent" and “Smart” systems. Smart and intelligent manufacturing is impossible without the interconnection of smart machinery and IoT devices within a network of computers in a closed or open networking design. However, concurrently with this technological progress in developing smart and intelligent manufacturing systems, we find that the risks of cyberattacks are growing every day at an exponential rate, with associated substantial financial impacts on enterprises. This chapter provides a review of the motivation of cyberattackers, manufacturing cyber vulnerability, and assessment and protective technologies.
