Enterprise 4.0 to support Industrial Operational Excellence


Industry 4.0 supports the Industrial Digitalisation in reaching Operational Excellence. It is fundamental to focus on Human Resources supporting Employees 4.0, and to protect Industrial Plants with ICS Cybersecurity solutions.






ICS Cybersecurity. AFCEA (Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association) Speech December 2017

I was honoured to be invited as Speaker at the AFCEA Conference, speaking about OT Security and Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity.

Industrial plants and critical infrastructure sites are quite easy to be reached by cyber criminals.
Remote plants are often under-staffed, and multiple third-party vendors need remote access to the ICS/SCADA networks for equipment control.
Basic expectations of the IT world are completely foreign to the Operational Technology (OT) environment.

Digital Immune System is the right Approach.

Compliance to ISA/IEC 62443 Standards and IIACS Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security is mandatory.


The Conference was introduced by the Under Secretary of Italian Defence On. Domenico Rossi that focused the importance to avoid external and internal attacks to the National Critical Infrastructures and Defence Infrastructures.
