The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) starts with the Digitization of Conventional Manufacturing and Control Systems. Cyber-Physical Systems and IoT devices deployed in the Industrial Control Systems are the blended machines which operate in conjunction with the legacy instruments that lack sufficient security controls. The Significant transition of all legacy data present in these traditional systems amidst its equivalent digital data exploits significant risk factors. The risks and threats associated with the Industry 4.0 systems will create an avenue for potential attack surfaces and vectors by the attackers. Contemporary Cyber Attacks and Threats are extraordinarily vigorous and leave the existing security services, and mechanisms lead to a significant dispute in its standards and measures. These Cyber Threats are controlled such that even a Smart Security Expert would find it difficult to resolve it near future.

Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
•Generic Outline of Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0 Enabled Systems
•Review of Legacy Industry Control Systems, and its consequences concerning Data breaches
•Diverse Cyber Physical Threats and Vulnerabilities Models for Energy, Manufacturing, Construction, and other industrial sectors
•Secure Healthcare systems and its impact on the Fourth Industrial Revolution
•Industrial IoT (IIoT) based Secure Smart Manufacturing Systems in SMEs
•Data Privacy and Integrity Issues and its countermeasures in Cloud Technology driven Cyber Physical Systems
•Reinventing Machine Learning for Smart Manufacturing Systems
•Empowering Cyber Physical Systems with Artificial Intelligence and Threat Indicators
•Cyber Resilience for Digital Energy and Control Platforms against Cyber Attack Surfaces and Vectors
•Cyber Security for Critical Energy Protection in Smart Cities
•Secure Design Architectures for competent and practical Cyber Physical Systems
•Agile based Software Development Methodologies for Industry 4.0 Applications
