Abstract
Over the past few years, the notion of Industry 5.0 has emerged as a subsequent phase in industrial revolution. The distinguishing features of Industry 5.0 encompass advanced technologies that include Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics integrated into manufacturing processes, resulting in amplified automation and efficiency alongside productivity. However, this ever-growing reliance on digital technologies has accentuated the significance of robust cybersecurity measures like never before. Industry 5.0 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, Industry 4.0, in that it prioritizes human labour over automation and digitalization to foster sustainable and resilient industrial production practices. However, the convergence of cybersecurity issues with this novel paradigm may pose considerable challenges going forward, making a comprehensive analysis of security conditions across both industry paradigms essential for devising effective solutions addressing potential threats. To gain insight into such developments within contemporary industrial transformations as they pertain to cybersecurity concerns during the transition period from Industries 4.0 to Industries 5.0, this chapter conducts a review drawing on numerous academic resources regarding best practices in these domains overall. The resulting findings are analyzed by extracting key themes emanating from multiple research streams before synthesizing them into broader frameworks.
