“…Another interesting work was carried out by Wiesen et al [34], who focused on describing a course on hardware reverse engineering that analyzes the practical security of devices like Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), which have been used by Industrial Control Systems (ICSs). In the case of Thiriet et al [35], they described a program of a course on cybersecurity oriented towards cyber-physical systems.…”

Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are paradigms that are driving current industrial revolution by connecting to the Internet industrial machinery, management tools or products so as to control and gather data about them. The problem is that many IIoT/Industry 4.0 devices have been connected to the Internet without considering the implementation of proper security measures, thus existing many examples of misconfigured or weakly protected devices. Securing such systems requires very specific skills, which, unfortunately, are not taught extensively in engineering schools. This article details how Industry 4.0 and IIoT cybersecurity can be learned through practical use cases, making use of a methodology that allows for carrying out audits to students that have no previous experience in IIoT or industrial cybersecurity. The described teaching approach is blended and has been imparted at the University of A Coruña (Spain) during the last years, even during the first semester of 2020, when the university was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Such an approach is supported by online tools like Shodan, which ease the detection of vulnerable IIoT devices. The feedback results provided by the students show that they consider useful the proposed methodology, which allowed them to find that 13% of the IIoT/Industry 4.0 systems they analyzed could be accessed really easily. In addition, the obtained teaching results indicate that the established course learning outcomes are accomplished. Therefore, this article provides useful guidelines for teaching industrial cybersecurity and thus train the next generation of security researchers and developers.

Asean-Factori 4.0 is an ERASMUS+ Key Action 2 project managed by Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and regrouping European partners in Lyon, Ruse (Bulgaria) and Grenoble together with South-East Asian partners in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. The purpose is a collaboration between the European and Asian partners in order to enrich Asian curricula and transfer up-to-date platform in the field of automation for teaching the most recent engineering concepts such as Factory 4.0 or Cyber-security of cyber-physical systems. Various actions have been held and are on the way within this project.
