In this paper we explore cyber security practices in Swedish manufacturing firms. Manufacturing is being trans- formed by new technologies under the label of smart industry or industry 4.0. Most of these technologies are either digital themselves or depend on digital connectivity. Their use is made possible by electronic sensors, actuators, and other devices as well as by data-driven analysis. Thi
