Abstract
The digitalization of HSE management in the process industry through integrating the best technologies is a valid support for improving process management and safety in working and environmental contexts. Advanced technologies allow constant monitoring of operating conditions, timely identification of risks, and prevention of potential accidents through predictive analysis. This digitalization can be useful to the well-established and regulated Seveso Directive to prevent major accidents that could affect people and the environment. Industrial Cyber Security fits into this digitalized context, aimed to control systems such as PLC, SCADA, and HMI immune from attacks. These devices deserve attention as they are the fulcrum of production processes and Industry 4.0. A cyber threat can bring disastrous consequences, leading to possible major accidents in the process industry. Thanks to the advancement of such technologies in the process industry and cybersecurity, Seveso inspections play a crucial role in acquiring more detailed information on how the industry is managing this issue, with particular attention to industrial equipment, identifying critical points, and assessing the adequacy of worker safety management and training.
