It is clear that the continuity of industrial production, which is the key driver
of the economy, is a vital priority for our daily lives. It is extremely important
that these automated and semi-automated industrial cyberphysical systems operate safely
without risk to human life or compromising productivity. Critical infrastructure and
critical manufacturing facilities are potentially subject to all types of attackers
(state-sponsored cyber attackers and cyber criminals, terrorist groups, hacktivists)
who, whether for political, economic, or ideological reasons, select the attacked
establishment, thus affecting the global supply chain or even damaging the economic
structure of an entire nation.
