Universal Robots UR3e PolyScope X - Cybersecurity Hardening Guidelines

9.3. Cybersecurity Hardening Guidelines
Description Although PolyScope includes many features for keeping the network connection
secure, you can harden security by observing to following guidelines:
•
Before connecting your robot to any network, always change the default
password to a strong password.
NOTICE
You cannot retrieve or reset a forgotten or lost password.
•
Store all passwords securely.
•
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 and
encrypting communication. This is a security risk. Consider appropriate
mitigating measures, based on your cybersecurity threat assessment.
•
SSH tunneling (Local port forwarding) must be used to access robot interfaces
from other devices if the connection crosses the trust zone boundary.
•
Remove sensitive data from the robot before it is decommissioned. Pay
particular attention to the URCaps and data in the program folder.
•
To ensure secure removal of highly sensitive data, securely wipe or
destroy the SD card.
