| Howest Cybersecurity
Howest and the University of Ghent offer an expert class focused on Innovative Cyber Security for Industry and Logistics 4.0 (ICIL4.0) with a practical emphasis. It aims to clarify technical security measures, showcase state-of-the-art solutions like Zero Trust Architecture, and translate regulations like NIS 2 and the European Cybersecurity ACT into actionable guidance for Flemish companies. The class also highlights innovative network monitoring and ISOC techniques within industrial and logistics networks integrated into the test facility.
Bart Claeys will talk about why industrial transformation, particularly Industry 4.0 and 5.0, is crucial for European industries to thrive, attract young talent, and contribute to societal solutions. Digitalization, including AI and robotics, offers opportunities for innovation and optimizing human-machine interactions. To succeed in this transformation, industries must prioritize cyber resilience and adopt frameworks like IEC 62443 for secure digital adoption, ensuring competitiveness and sustainability.
