A Hybrid MCDM Model Combining DANP and PROMETHEE II Methods for the Assessment of Cybersecurity in Industry 4.0

IT technologies related to Industry 4.0 facilitate the implementation of framework for sustainable manufacturing. At same time, integrates processes and systems production companies with solutions cooperating that support a complete manufactured product life cycle. Thus, manufacturing implies rapid increase in interfaces between companies. This, turn, raises concerns about security among company executives. The lack recognized methodology supporting decision-making process choosing right methods means cybersecurity is, effect, significant barrier development As result, propagation are slowing down significantly. main novelty this article, addressing above deficiencies, is creation, using combined DEMATEL ANP (DANP) PROMETHEE II methods, ranking proposed three groups measures, seven dimensions twenty criteria be implemented ensure principles. contribution components scheme achieve Sustainable Development goals, reducing carbon footprint introducing circular economy elements was also indicated. Using DANP II, it can concluded that: (i) major criterion validation maintaining electronic signatures seals; (ii) most crucial area network security; (iii) group measures regard technological measures.
