Vědecko-technický vývoj a jeho globální politické a bezpečnostní dopady

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine a world without information technologies and the Internet which secure rapid and barrier-free communication across states, nations and continents. New technologies change the way we see and interpretate the globalizing world where there is constantly increasing cultural and economic integration. The reason for this change is all-encompassing digitalization process which intervenes into our daily life and changes existing approaches to work, living, transportation, culture and economics. The most evident area of changes is production which is no longer performed manually by manufacturing workers, but rather is executed automatically by interconnected production systems. This gradual transition to fully automated production is today called Industry 4.0 and is considered to be a new industrial revolution which is the subject of this diploma thesis research. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and classify security threats of Industry 4.0 according to individual sectors and criteria set by Copenhagen school within the concept of securitization which expands and at the same time deepens traditional security concept originally bound to the military and political sector.
