| 9:30-10:00 | Integrating OT with IT: Security Challenges in Industry 4.0, Professor Sokratis Katsikas, NTNU Industry 4.0, commonly referred to as the 4th industrial revolution, pertains to the current trend of automation and data exchange in industry, through the development, use and integration of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other enabling technologies. This evolution is expected to bring tremendous benefits in the economy, including improved productivity and efficiency, better flexibility and agility, and increased profitability. However, it also comes with increased cyber security risks, primarily deriving from the integration of information technology and operational technology. Thus, as in all cases of a major shift in computing paradigms, a number of cyber security challenges arise, that cannot be addressed by simply porting solutions from other domains. In this talk an overview of such challenges, current practices for addressing them, as well as areas open for research in the field will be provided. |

| 10:00-10:30 | Phishing, the threat that keeps on going, Professor Steve Furnell, Associate Dean, University of Plymouth. With its origins over a decade and a half ago, phishing continues to be a significant and growing threat to individuals and organisations alike. This presentation begins by examining the scope and scale of the problem, clearly evidencing the challenge that it poses to those on the receiving end. It then proceeds to consider findings from an experimental study looking at the ability of today’s email services to identify and flag potential phishing messages. The findings suggest very limited levels of success, with many messages reaching inboxes without any marking to suggest that they are suspicious. This in turn suggests that technology often fails to provide the safety net that many users will be expecting, and exposes a notable hole if phishing awareness is also lacking amongst potential victims. |
