Subject type: Optional

Coordinator: Julián Horrillo Tello

Trimester: Third term

Credits: 6

The documentation of the subject will be mostly in Spanish. Poden haver-hi documents en anglès i català, però l'idioma principal serà castellà. 

Optional subject framed in the block of the mention in Intelligent Manufacturing in Industry 4.0, of eminently practical approach.

The first part focuses on the analysis of cybersecurity. The generic concepts to be considered are explained, and management and control mechanisms are put in place. However, the main rules for the security management of information systems, of application in professional environments are introduced.

The second part explains the technological possibility of adding computing and communication capabilities to field devices, such as sensors and actuators, leading us to an environment of interconnected devices that can share data and the ability to process the. They are IoT environments. 

First we will see the solutions to implement IoT infrastructures, and then we will see cases of application in industrial environments (what is known as IIOT) and in city environments (what is known as Smart Cities)

The course will give an overview of IoT environments. The components found there, the platforms to work on, and the main protocols and operating models will be analyzed from an eminently practical point of view.

At the end of the course the student must be able to:

1. Know the characteristics of IoT environments, their importance and the elements that make them up. (CE21, CE28)

LO1.6 Understand and know the problems of IoT environments

LO1.7 Understand the microservices involved in IoT solutions

LO1.8 Understand and know different cases of vertical use of IoT environments and solutions

1. Understand the importance and operation of the OPC-UA standard in IoT environments and in the applications that operate in the various elements of these environments. (CE28)

LO2.1 Understand and know the main protocols used in IoT environments (OPC-UA).

1. Know methods and tools to develop solutions for IoT environments. (CE24, CE28)

LO3.1 Understand IIOT environments

LO3.2 Understand and know the problems of management environments in Smart Cities

1. Understand the importance of security in information and communication systems. (CE3)

1. Know controls and procedures for safety management (CE3).

LO5.1 Know and have used tools and platforms for security monitoring and auditing

LO5.2 Know the different security solutions in nodes and networks

LO5.3 Understand the operation of syslog management tools

LO5.4 Understand SIEM environments

LO5.5 Understand NAC environments

LO5.6 Know protocol security solutions (in different layers, routing, ...).

LO5.7 Understand the concept of perimeter security

LO5.8 Understand and know IDS and IPS solutions

LO5.9 Understand and know the concepts of Encryption, Integrity, Confidentiality and Authenticity

LO5.10 Understand and know the concepts of public key and private key systems

LO5.11 Understand and get to know Virtual Private Networks

LO5.12 Understand and know tools and solutions for forensic analysis in different environments

LO5.13 Understand and know SDN solutions

LO5.14 Understand the problems of mobile environments

1. Have basic knowledge of safety issues in industrial automation systems (CE3).

LO6.1 Know the different types of industrial communication networks and know how to choose the right ones for an application.

1. Know the bases for the control and management of the security of automation systems and information systems

• Note: These learning outcomes correspond to the learning outcomes, established in the Degree Report, according to the table of correspondences that you can find at the end of the Teaching Plan of the subject.

1. Theoretical / practical classes in large group (whole class). In these sessions the teachers introduce the contents of the subject and teaching activities are carried out that pursue that the student is an active protagonist in the acquisition of his knowledge.
2. Activities that are carried out in teams of two people or individually. These practical activities will be carried out both in classes with small groups and in classes with large groups (all students).
3. Presentations individually and / or in groups of specific topics related to the subject.

The final objective is that the student acquires the knowledge of the subject by means of activities that can be small or consist of more complete projects where the knowledge that are acquired throughout the course take part, together with those acquired throughout his formation.

Within the hours of autonomous learning are considered the hours to prepare the theoretical classes, the hours to study and consolidate the acquired knowledge, the hours to prepare the work of the practices and, finally, the hours that the student can dedicate to increase and complement their knowledge on the subject.

For the follow-up of the subject the student works with his personal computer (laptop) that will have to take to each and every one of the classes. This is an essential tool for the development and achievement of the subject, and the student will have to install and use a whole series of tools to be able to work on it.

All activities are required to attend to be evaluated.

Activities are mandatory. Activities not performed or not attended are rated as 0.

In order to pass (pass) the assessment activities, students must demonstrate:

- That they have acquired the theoretical knowledge related to the contents of the subject and that their understanding allows them to put them into practice.

- That they can develop solutions to problems that, although they may be similar to others seen above, present aspects that are new.

The weight of each of the activities in the final evaluation of the subject is indicated below.

1. 40% Written Test

2. Practices 40%

3. Individual or group work 20%

All grades are required. The written test can be retrieved

For the written tests, the average of the tests must have a minimum rating of 3,5. If the grade is lower than 3.5 then the final grade of the subject will be that of the written tests.
