“…Due to this, there do not appear to be any specific countermeasures against these silent attacks, and in some cases, these attacks may only affect DTs, not the CPS. Still, they will overshadow the politics of CPS design in the future [89,97]. As a result of most attacks carried out in recent years, the attacker hides on both sides of the ecosystem and in the organisational traffic of the network to increase the complexity of detection for security experts.…”

The potential of digital twin technology is yet to be fully realised due to its diversity and untapped potential. Digital twins enable systems’ analysis, design, optimisation, and evolution to be performed digitally or in conjunction with a cyber-physical approach to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency over traditional engineering methods. Industry 4.0, factories of the future, and digital twins continue to benefit from the technology and provide enhanced efficiency within existing systems. Due to the lack of information and security standards associated with the transition to cyber digitisation, cybercriminals have been able to take advantage of the situation. Access to a digital twin of a product or service is equivalent to threatening the entire collection. There is a robust interaction between digital twins and artificial intelligence tools, which leads to strong interaction between these technologies, so it can be used to improve the cybersecurity of these digital platforms based on their integration with these technologies. This study aims to investigate the role of artificial intelligence in providing cybersecurity for digital twin versions of various industries, as well as the risks associated with these versions. In addition, this research serves as a road map for researchers and others interested in cybersecurity and digital security.

“…Moreover, the current trend in factory automation verges towards connecting the factory floor to all other enterprise processes. The adoption of cloud platforms [26] ensures the needed scalability of storage, computation, and cross-domain communication capabilities but also poses a number of novel cyber-security threats to the manufacturing environment [27].…”

Industry 4.0 has revolutionized process innovation while facilitating and encouraging many new possibilities. The objective of Industry 4.0 is the radical enhancement of productivity, a goal that presupposes the integration of Operational Technology (OT) networks with Information Technology (IT) networks, which were hitherto isolated. This disruptive approach is enabled by adopting several emerging technologies in Enterprise processes. In this manuscript, we discuss what we believe to be one of the main challenges preventing the full employment of Industry 4.0, namely, the integration of Operation Technology networking and Information Technology networking. We discuss the technical challenges alongside the potential tools while providing a state-of-the-art use case scenario. We showcase a possible solution based on the Asset Administration Shell approach, referring to the use case of camera synchronization for collaborative tasks.

“…One potential solution to enhance their cybersecurity lies in leveraging the concept of DT, a virtual replica that accurately mimics the behavior of the physical counterpart, to conduct security tests in a virtualized environment as we would in a cyber range. This has already been addressed in other domains, such as for industrial cyber-physical systems in [6].…”
