The digital transformation of industries is having a profound impact on Industrial Control Systems (SCI). Cost and performance improvements have fostered the evolution of ICS by leveraging IT and OT capabilities in existing systems, resulting in many of today’s “smart” systems, such as the smart grid, smart transportation, smart buildings, and Industry 4.0.
Aligned with the objectives set by the Valencian Community and Europe, and in order to provide the technology that makes it possible, the main objective of the HEIMDAL project is to analyse the potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities of the intelligent devices present in Smart Cities and Industry 4.0, analysing their cybersecurity from two points of view: on the one hand, against in-situ attacks that involve hardware manipulation and, on the other, against attacks that interfere with their communications.
