The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is a revolution many authors believe have come to stay. It is a revolution that has been fast blurring the line between physical, digital and biological technologies. These disruptive technologies largely rely on high-speed internet connectivity, Cloud technologies, Augmented Reality, Additive Manufacturing, Data science and Artificial Intelligence. Most developed economies have embraced the it while the developing economies are struggling to adopt 4IR because they lack the requisite skills, knowledge and technology. Thus, this study investigates Nigeria as one of the developing economies to understand her readiness for 4IR and the level of preparedness to mitigate the sophisticated cyber-attacks that comes with it. The investigation adopted quantitative research approach and developed an online questionnaire that was shared amongst the population of interest that includes academic, industry experts and relevant stakeholders. The questionnaire returned 116 valid responses which were analysed with descriptive statistical tools in SPSS. Results suggest that 60 of the respondents opined that Nigerian government at are not showing enough evidence to demonstrate her preparedness to leverage these promised potentials by developing 4IR relevant laws, strong institutional frameworks and policies. They lack significant development capacity to mitigate risks associated with digital ecosystem and cyber ecosystem that are ushered in by the 4IR. In the universities, 52 of the courses offered at the undergraduate and 42 at the post-graduate levels are relevant in the development of skills required in the revolution. The study recommends that the government at all levels make adequate efforts in developing the countrys intangible assets. In all, this paper posits that successful implementation of these could equip Nigeria to embrace the 4IR in all its aspects.

Protecting embedded security is becoming an increasingly challenging research problem for embedded systems due to a number of emerging trends in hardware, software, networks, and applications. Without fundamental advances in, and an understanding of embedded security it will be difficult for future engineers to provide assurance for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) in wide ranging applications, from home automation and autonomous transportation to medical devices and factory floors. Common to such applications are cyberphysical risks and consequences stemming from a lack of embedded security. The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) held a one-day visioning workshop to explore these issues. The workshop focused on five major application areas of embedded systems, namely (1) medical/wearable devices, (2) autonomous systems (drones, vehicles, robots), (3) smart homes, (4) industry and supply chain, and (5) critical infrastructure. This report synthesizes the results of that workshop and develops a list of strategic goals for research and education over the next 5-10 years. Embedded security in connected devices presents challenges that require a broad look at the overall systems design, including human and societal dimensions as well as technical. Particular issues related to embedded security are a subset of the overall security of the application areas, which must also balance other design criteria such as cost, power, reliability, usability and function. Recent trends are converging to make the security of embedded systems an increasingly important and difficult objective, requiring new trans-disciplinary approaches to solve problems on a 5-10 year horizon.
In Cyberspace nowadays, there is a burst of information that everyone has access. However, apart from the advantages the Internet offers, it also hides numerous dangers for both people and nations. Cyberspace has a dark side, including terrorism, bullying, and other types of violence. Cyberwarfare is a kind of virtual war that causes the same destruction that a physical war would also do. In this article, we discuss what Cyberterrorism is and how it can lead to Cyberwarfare.
Statistical approaches to cyber-security involve building realistic probability models of computer network data. In a data pre-processing phase, separating automated events from those caused by human activity should improve statistical model building and enhance anomaly detection capabilities. This article presents a changepoint detection framework for identifying periodic subsequences of event times. The opening event of each subsequence can be interpreted as a human action which then generates an automated, periodic process. Difficulties arising from the presence of duplicate and missing data are addressed. The methodology is demonstrated using authentication data from the computer network of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
This article conducts a literature review of current and future challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber physical systems. The literature review is focused on identifying a conceptual framework for increasing resilience with AI through automation supporting both, a technical and human level. The methodology applied resembled a literature review and taxonomic analysis of complex internet of things (IoT) interconnected and coupled cyber physical systems. There is an increased attention on propositions on models, infrastructures and frameworks of IoT in both academic and technical papers. These reports and publications frequently represent a juxtaposition of other related systems and technologies (e.g. Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, Industry 4.0 etc.). We review academic and industry papers published between 2010 and 2020. The results determine a new hierarchical cascading conceptual framework for analysing the evolution of AI decision-making in cyber physical systems. We argue that such evolution is inevitable and autonomous because of the increased integration of connected devices (IoT) in cyber physical systems. To support this argument, taxonomic methodology is adapted and applied for transparency and justifications of concepts selection decisions through building summary maps that are applied for designing the hierarchical cascading conceptual framework.
This article is focused on the economic impact assessment of Internet of Things (IoT) and its associated cyber risks vectors and vertices - a reinterpretation of IoT verticals. We adapt to IoT both the Cyber Value at Risk model, a well-established model for measuring the maximum possible loss over a given time period, and the MicroMort model, a widely used model for predicting uncertainty through units of mortality risk. The resulting new IoT MicroMort for calculating IoT risk is tested and validated with real data from the BullGuards IoT Scanner - over 310,000 scans - and the Garner report on IoT connected devices. Two calculations are developed, the current state of IoT cyber risk and the future forecasts of IoT cyber risk. Our work therefore advances the efforts of integrating cyber risk impact assessments and offer a better understanding of economic impact assessment for IoT cyber risk.
