METHODS AND TOOLS FOR INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY

In this course, you will be made aware of the state-of-the-art in cybersecurity research and state of practice in industry. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities are a threat to progress in the business sector and society. This is an accelerating threat due to the current rapid digitalisation, which in manufacturing is termed Industry 4.0. Companies are aware of this threat and realise the need to invest in countermeasures, but development is hampered by lack of competence.

Digital säkerhet, cybersäkerhet, är en nödvändighet för en fungerande samhällskritisk infrastruktur, såsom elsystem, vattenrening, trafik och sjukvård. Detta blir speciellt tydligt då vi går mot en grön omställning av vårt samhälle, då just samhällskritiska funktioner måste fungera och digitalisering av samhällskritiska funktioner ökar, för att vi ska kunna effektivisera olika verksamheter. Och med det följer att cybersäkra lösningar är ett måste, så att samhället och dess medborgare inte drabbas av digitala intrång. I denna kurs kommer exempel tas upp från olika samhällskritiska funktioner, med fokus på elsystemet. Digitala lösningar kommer att behandlas, samt metoder och modeller för cybersäkra system. Innehåll Samhällskritiska system Sveriges och Nordens elsystem Styrning och övervakning av elsystem Analys av digitala lösningar för elsystem Informationssäkerhetsbegrepp: konfidentialitet, riktighet och tillgänglighet; spårbarhet. Internationell ISO/IEC standardisering Omvärldsanalys Kursens upplägg Allt sker digital på distans, genom Zoom/motsvarande. Föreläsningar – kommer inte att spelas in – varvas med seminarier där olika frågeställningar behandlas i dialog med deltagarna. Undervisningen sker på svenska.

Du ska ha en teknisk bakgrund, med kunskap om ditt område där du är verksam. 

This course is taught in Swedish. Get started with measuring and running a systematic sustainability program! This course is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises. Using concrete tools such as the Green Performance Map (GPM) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), you will be supported in identifying relevant sustainability goals and translating them into metrics. The course shows how to integrate sustainability work into daily improvement work, how to create anchoring in the organization, and how psychological security, leadership and culture are key factors for long-term change. You will also gain insight into how metrics affect motivation, behavior and management - and how to balance between controlling and leading metrics.

Thiscourse is aimed at professionalsin the industry. The course coverstheory and practice concerningsoftware systems and information security, and the intersection between. Specifically, the courseconsidersconditions and activitiesthat impact the appropriate adoption, development, use, and IToperations of software systems, as well asthe appropriate management of digital assets with regard toidentified information security challenges. The course focuses on activitiescentral to understanding,planning and implementing proper controlsrelated to the use of software systemsto enable appropriateand secure management of digital assets.

Batteries and battery technology are vital for achieving sustainable transportation and climate-neutral goals. As concerns over retired batteries are growing and companies in the battery or electric vehicle ecosystem need appropriate business strategies and framework to work with.This course aims to help participants with a deep understanding of battery circularity within the context of circular business models. You will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement circular business models and strategies in the battery and electric vehicle industry, considering both individual company specific and ecosystem-wide perspectives. You will also gain the ability to navigate the complexities of transitioning towards circularity and green transition in the industry.The course includes a project work to develop a digitally enabled circular business model based on real-world problems. Course content Battery second life and circularity Barriers and enablers of battery circularity Circular business models Ecosystem management Pathways for circular transformation Design principles for battery circularity Role of advanced digital technologies Learning outcomes After completing the course, you will be able to: Describe the concept of battery circularity and its importance in achieving sustainability goals. Examine and explain the characteristics and differences of different types of circular business models and required collaboration forms in the battery- and electric vehicle- industry. Analyze key factors that are influencing design and implement circular business models based on specific individual company and its ecosystem contexts. Analyze key stakeholders and develop ecosystem management strategies for designing and implementing circular business models. Explain the role of digitalization, design, and policies to design and implement circular business models. Plan and design a digitally enabled circular business model that is suitable for a given battery circularity problem. Examples of professional roles that will benefit from this course are sustainability managers, battery technology engineers, business development managers, circular developers, product developers, environmental engineers, material engineers, supply chain engineers or managers, battery specialists, circular economy specialists, etc. This course is given by Mälardalen university in cooperation with Luleå University of Technology Study effort: 80 hrs
