Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper demonstrates an innovative four-layer cybersecurity framework specifically developed for digital twin environments in the food industry. The suggested architecture integrates machine learning-based real-time anomaly detection (including large language patterns), blockchain-based data integrity, and process mining for advanced operational control. The system was examined in a simulated dairy processing plant with real industrial control system (ICS) components. Notable enhancements were observed, attaining 95% attack detection rate, minimizing false positives to 5%, and lowering an average threat response time to 200 milliseconds. These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated highly developed AI algorthims and blockchain technology to preserve digital twin systems in critical production environments. The present method offers a scalable and adaptable approach to address traditional and emerging cybersecurity threats in the food industry sector.
