Attacking Automated Manufacturing Systems

Explore the vulnerabilities and attack surface of automated manufacturing systems in this comprehensive conference talk from HITB CyberWeek 2021. Delve into the complex cyber-physical systems at the heart of Industry 4.0, including robots, industrial controllers, and interconnected factory networks. Examine specific vulnerability classes, from robotic controller compromise to security issues in domain-specific programming languages. Understand the potential post-exploitation impacts, such as product alteration, physical plant damage, industrial espionage, and human safety risks. Learn from Stefano Zanero, an associate professor at Politecnico di Milano and expert in malware analysis and cyberphysical security, as he shares insights on protecting critical infrastructure in the age of smart manufacturing.
