REVOLUTIONISING CYBERSECURITY WITH THE NEXT GENERATION AI-POWERED SECURITY PLATFORM

Project description

Robot-specific AI-based security technology

Today’s industrial robots face numerous security vulnerabilities that can jeopardise their safety. With this in mind, the EIC-funded RIS project has developed the robot immune system (RIS), the first integrated endpoint protection platform specifically designed for robots. RIS uses bio-inspired AI to adapt to new security threats and is directly installed into robotic systems. It monitors robot interactions to detect anomalies and provides a range of protection technologies, including antivirus, intrusion prevention, and data encryption. The technology uses AI to identify vulnerable robots on an industrial network and uncover weaknesses in operational robot systems. It also learns from specific robot deployments to detect and defend against both known and unknown attacks.

Objective

"Alias Robotics is a leading player in the cybersecurity for robotics market. Our mission is to secure robots worldwide by protecting them from third-party attacks and ensuring their safety alongside humans. We aim to become a reference in the sector by leveraging our niche expertise. Alias Robotics envisions a future where secure robots operate in various domains and is committed to making industrial robots secure for end users.
Our unique positioning in the market comes from being experts in both robotics and cybersecurity, with a deep understanding of the market domain. Alias Robotics has established itself as ""THE robot cybersecurity company"" and has provided security services to major industry players. We have developed the Robot Immune System (RIS), an artificial and adaptable immune system for industrial robots, which enables surveillance, monitoring, alerting, and threat prevention.
In a market that is still largely immature, Alias Robotics has positioned itself as a top-premium brand for security services and products. We see an opportunity for the European Union to take the lead in AI powered IT/OT and Robotics cybersecurity ecosystem, driving innovation in an increasingly robotized world. Our goal is to be at the forefront of product adoption with their Robot Immune System solution and contribute to securing the future of robotics in industries worldwide.
By starting with robotics — the most complex and safety-critical cyber-physical domain — Alias Robotics builds an AI-powered cybersecurity platform capable of protecting use cases in IT, OT and robotics to protect our digital future in a sovereign and scalable manner."
