4.8. Robot Cyber Security
Description Before implementing cyber security, you must conduct a risk assessment
to:
•
Identify threats
•
Define trust zones and conduits
•
Specify the requirements of each component in the application
Cyber Security Pre-
requisites
Before your system can reach a secure state of operation, ensure the
following:
•
You have a thourough understanding of general cyber security
principles and advanced technologies as used in your Universal
Robots robot.
•
You take physical security measures to allow only trusted personnel
physical access to the robot.
•
You only connect your robot to a trusted network, behind a firewall
restricting both inbound and outbound access to/from the Internet.
Hardening Cyber
Security
Although PolyScope includes many features for keeping the network
connection secure, you can harden security by observing to following
guidelines:
•
Always set an Admin password (see 13.2. Settingson page346)
before connecting your robot to any network.
•
Use the built-in settings to restrict the network access to the robot as
much as possible.
•
Some communication interfaces have no method of authenticating
connections made. In some applications this is a security liability.
•
Use local port forwarding (see 13.2. Settingson page346) to setup
an authenticated and secure connection, if you require remote
access to the motion controlling interfaces of the robot. For
example:the Dashboard Server and the
Primary/Secondary/Realtime Client Interfaces.
•
Remove sensitive data from the robot before it is decommissioned.
Pay particular attention to the URCaps (see 7.10. URCapson
page271) and data in the program folder.
