At the TÜV AUSTRIA Security-in-Industry Research Lab, important security issues for industry are being researched in the framework of nine dissertations. It sounds wonderful: Everything is connected in the industrial plants of the future, from the company's own computers to the electronic control elements for high-pressure valves. The electronics in production plants are linked to the IT network, which allows machines to automatically exchange information and adapt to one another. This opens up new possibilities for more efficient and at the same time more people-friendly production, but it also entails new dangers, especially when such systems are linked to the Internet. In the era of cyber-physical systems and Industry 4.0, security aspects are becoming ever more important. To provide industry with the tools it needs to deal with security issues, TU Vienna and TÜV AUSTRIA have joined forces to launch the TÜV AUSTRIA Security-in-Industry Research Lab. An important role is also being played by TU Vienna's Pilot Factory, where questions relating to the topic of Industry 4.0 are researched in a practice-oriented manner using real production facilities.
