Competition in the industrial robotics market is heating up, with worldwide investment expected to reach $210 billion by 2025 – more than double the amount in 2020. Companies are increasingly recognizing the commercial value that robots can bring… Continue reading Making robotics security a top priority
Nearly half of supply chain leaders surveyed have dramatically accelerated spending on digital technologies to make their operations more responsive and forward-looking during the pandemic, according to an industry report released by MHI and Deloitte. … Continue reading Trends and technologies that are helping supply chains respond, recover and thrive during pandemic
Slowly but surely, 5G digital cellular networks are being set up around the world. It will take years for widespread coverage and use to be achieved, so what better time than now for finding a way to ease into it while keeping security in mind? Opportu… Continue reading 5G IoT security: Opportunity comes with risks
Industrial robotics is on track to be worth around $20 billion by 2020, but while it may something in common with other categories of cutting-edge tech — innovative use of artificial intelligence, pushing the boundaries of autonomous machines that are disrupting pre-existing technology — there is one key area where it differs: each robotics firm […] Continue reading Wandelbots raises $6.8M to make programming a robot as easy as putting on a jacket
How soon will we see our home, office or industrial robots being hijacked and held ransom by attackers? If they dedicate their efforts to research, that day may come sooner rather than later. Attack demonstration IOActive researchers Lucas Apa and Cesa… Continue reading Robots hijacked by ransomware may soon become a reality
IOActive researchers have probed the security of a number of humanoid home and business robots as well industrial collaborative robots, and have found it seriously wanting. A slew of vulnerabilities – authentication/authorization issues and bypasses, insecure transport of data and firmware update mechanisms, undocumented methods, hard-coded passwords, unencrypted storage, easily disabled human safety protections – can be exploited to allow attackers to spy on users, hijack the robots, brick them and, what’s even worse, injure … More → Continue reading Hacked robots can be a deadly insider threat
Researchers at IOActive are sounding an early alarm on the security of industrial collaboration robots, or cobots. These machines work side-by-side with people and contain vulnerabilities that could put physical safety at risk. Continue reading Industrial Cobots Might Be The Next Big IoT Security Mess
