FAQPage Schema
How do I secure SROS2 DDS communications in a robotic system?

Securing SROS2 involves implementing DDS security features like encryption, authentication, and access control directly at the DDS layer. This protects ROS2 communications from interception and tampering.

What's the best way to segment a robot network to prevent unauthorized access?

Network segmentation for robot networks is best achieved by implementing firewall rules and VLAN configurations. This isolates robotic hardware components to limit lateral movement during a potential cyber compromise.

How do I configure SSH key-only authentication and fail2ban for host hardening?

Configuring SSH key-only authentication and fail2ban hardens robot hosts by eliminating password-based login attempts and dynamically blocking suspicious IPs. Adding unattended upgrades ensures continuous host security patching.

Can I use Trivy and Cosign to scan and sign container images for robotic applications?

Yes, you can use Trivy to scan container images for vulnerabilities and Cosign to digitally sign them. Running these validated containers as non-root users further secures the robotic software deployment.

How do I ensure physical safety if my robot's cyber security is compromised?

To ensure physical safety during a cyber compromise, you must implement e-stop independence and safety controller isolation. This separates critical physical safety mechanisms from the vulnerable cyber network.

Do I need cybersecurity knowledge to implement secrets management for robotic systems?

Yes, implementing secrets management for robotic systems requires cybersecurity knowledge and an understanding of robotic systems. You must manage credentials, certificates, and environment-based secrets using proper rotation patterns.
