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.  

Learn how to use the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop smart products and services. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a collective term for the technologies that enable devices with embedded electronics and internet connectivity such as appliances, machines, and vehicles to be controlled or exchange data over a network. In this course, you will gain basic knowledge of the various components that make up Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, including sensor technologies, smart tags, data communication, and cyber security. You will learn What requirements are imposed on data communication Understand computer communication technologies and their possibilities, limitations and expected role in the development of IIoT Understand appropriate measures against common security issues

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. Kursen startar tisdag 9 sept på eftermiddag och pågår under sex eftermiddagar, där varje tillfälle är 4*45 min. Du kommer få kunskap om Efter kursen ska du ha fått en ökad förståelse för behovet av säkra digitala lösningar samt en bättre medvetenhet (”awareness”) om digitala sårbarheter. Kursen behandlar metoder och verktyg för att stärka en cybersäker miljö, med fokus på samhällskritiska elinfrastrukturer. Vem vänder sig kursen till? Kursen vänder sig till dig som arbetar inom någon samhällskritisk funktion, såsom elbolag, trafikverk, vattenreningsverk eller sjukvårdssystem. 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.

Fiber-optic sensing technologies are fast evolving and have entered in a large domain of our industry. Today all geothermal fields, water dams, railroads and to some lesser extent mines are equipped with fiber-optic cables to allow not only digital data transmission but also to interrogate fiber cables for information such as temperature changes or values (leakage issues or fractured rocks) but also strain measurements that can be indicators of soil failure or movements. When conducted in a controlled manner, artificial signals can be generated to help image the subsurface for mineral exploration, mine tailing characterization and for geothermal field development work by mapping faults and thermal fluids. There are other applications such as traffic monitoring that can also be done using this technology. Given its vast applications in the green transition, fiber-optic sensing is one of the most advanced technologies to be implemented in a wide range of fossil-free energy systems, hence, of a great importance to learn about their pros and cons and possibilities. Course content The course will have the following content: Introduction to DAS DAS Interrogators for temperature and strain measurements Fiber optic cables and their health conditions (hands-on with fiber-cable microscopes and fusion splicers) Design of a fiber-optic survey (surface and borehole) Parameter testing such as gauge length, laser pulse and width Field trials at a mine tailing test site or a mineral exploration borehole Work with the data and reporting Course design Hybrid and blended including hands-on practices.  This course takes about 30 hours of study to complete. You will learn By taking the course the participants are intended to learn about: Fiber-optic cables and their specifications including how to check their health and splice them DAS interrogators and their interior designs for fiber-optic sensing applications Design surface and borehole experiments Read and work with the data (hands-on) Who is the course for? The course will be given to a broad range of participants from engineering to geoscience backgrounds including university students but also participants from the industry. Participants can be from construction industry, road administration, energy sector (e.g., water dams), mining and defence workers. The course will be run within the newly established Smart Exploration Research Center involving tech companies such as BitSimNow Part of Prevas who are also expert in PFGA and fiber-related technologies. A prerequisite to the course is prior knowledge on different problems in the energy sector but some knowledge with Matlab and/or Python programming. The course can continue as an industry offer through the SERC-center as a multidisciplinary course at Uppsala University and for industry participants.
