When cybersecurity affects the decisions that govern operations
Artificial Intelligence is already part of industrial, transport and critical operations systems in which it interprets the environment and makes decisions in real time. This leap from controlled environments to physical and operational systems is generating new cybersecurity risks, which are different from the traditional ones and have a direct impact on the operation.
In these new scenarios, cyber-attacks no longer merely seek to shut down systems or access information, but they aim to manipulate data, models and perception to alter automated decisions without the failure being obvious to human operators or classical monitoring systems.
Our colleagues, Alberto Miranda and Carmen Palacios, address how the introduction of AI in industrial and transport systems is changing the paradigm of cybersecurity, and why it is now essential to incorporate security, trust and resilience approaches from the design phase and throughout the life-cycle of smart systems.
Aims of the conference
- Analyse how AI is transforming cybersecurity risks in industrial and transport environments.
- Understand why attacks on smart systems may generate silent failures with real operational impact.
- Learn about real cases of application in industrial and autonomous transport systems.
- Identify good practices to design secure, reliable and resilient AI systems.
- Open up reflection on the need to protect not only the systems, but also the automated decisions that govern the operation.
