Analysing the connection between ai and industry 4.0 from a cybersecurity perspective: defending the smart revolution

Abstract

In recent years, the significance and efficiency of business performance have become dependent heavily on digitization, as jobs in companies are seeking to be transformed into digital jobs based on smart systems and applications of the fourth industrial revolution. Cybersecurity systems must interact and continuously cooperate with authorized users through the Internet of Things and benefit from corporate services that allow users to interact in a secure environment free from electronic attacks. Artificial intelligence methods contribute to the design of the Fourth Industrial Revolution principles, including interoperability, information transparency, technical assistance, and decentralized decisions. Through this design, security gaps may be generated that attackers can exploit in order to be able to enter systems, control them, or manipulate them. In this paper, the role of automated systems for digital operations in the fourth industrial revolution era will be examined from the perspective of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as the most significant practices of artificial intelligence methods. This paper concluded that artificial intelligence methods play a significant role in defending and protecting cybersecurity and the Internet of Things, preventing electronic attacks, and protecting users' privacy.
