Hardware today can be inaccessible to users due to cost or the customer’s desire for flexibility. By using virtualization one can reduce customer costs while increasing flexibility. To do this, companies might need to redesign or migrate their hardware to suit a virtualized environment. However, migration from custom to virtual hardware introduces security risks. This thesis, therefore, explores t

Due to the industry 4.0 paradigm shift, manufacturing and pro-duction industries are focusing on Predictive maintenance (PdM) to increase production efficiency and maintenance strategies.
