Data security
As data and information gains importance with the increased popularization of Industry 4.0, its
value increases exponentially, which is an opportunity for cybercriminals.
An employee with insufficient knowledge, lacking training and formation in cybersecurity
concepts, is more likely to be susceptible to hackers, both for information technology (pure

Property theft, the most valuable piece of information Industry 4.0 businesses tend to manage.
