The recent advances in Internet-of-Things, Machine Learning, Big Data analytics, Cloud and Fog computing are enablers for the Smart Industry transformation (or Industry 4.0). The factory is becoming smart integrating data, applications, computing platforms and physical components. Smart factories improve the flexibility of the production and the quality of the final products in a sustainable way, but at the same time are prone to cyber risks more than traditional factories.
This project, hereafter SmartDefence, aims to develop models, algorithms and mechanisms to enhance smart factories with self-protection capabilities. A system with self-protection features is capable to automatically detect cyber-attacks and autonomously plan response strategies, without human intervention. Self-protection capabilities are extremely important for complex and large-scale system where is impractical a human assisted detection and response to cyber-attacks.
SmartDefense will develop:
- new protocols and mechanisms for the detection of cyber-attacks to Industrial Internet-of-Things applications
- new algorithms and mechanisms for the detection and response of attacks to industrial control applications
- innovative Machine Learning based models and algorithm to plan defense strategies in a smart factory
- a prototype implementation of the "SmartDefense Self-protection Manager" that integrates the above-mentioned protocols, mechanisms, models and algorithms.
SmartDefence is framed in the national and international initiative on Smart Industry. Specifically the national Cyber4.0 a Highly Specialized Competence Center Dedicated to Cyber-Security lead by Sapienza (DD MISE 29.01.2018) and more in general the EC strategy on Digital Single Market - Smart Industry.
Moreover, SmartDefense foreseen the collaboration with the Department of Engineering and Computer Science at Mississippi State University, USA.
