In the case of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) who was forced to shut down several factories after revealing is being attacked by a malware in August 2018. The incident caused attention on the security of smart manufacturing industry whilst in the past, management issue of cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) were rarely discussed. As such if we are unable to provide good defense for information security among sensor networks and OT environment, the development of smart application system and industry 4.0 will be potentially precarious.
