Picture this: your robot barista makes the perfect cappucino – but somewhere in the digital ether, a malicious entity already knows its pouring milk before its finished grinding your beans.
The ubiquity of encryption is staggering in todays digital world, however, although encryption may lock down the data, as highlighted by the report from the University of Waterloo, Canada, the rhythm of a robot’s network chatter can still give way its every move.
Its impact in the world of surgical robotics, is of course, far more impactful. Although your surgeons robot may have a steady hand, its network traffic might be trembling with secrets and that’s something encryption alone cant fix.
OppiSec works collaboratively with organisations to fortify robotic systems, countering hidden data leaks by conducting side-channel vulnerability assessments and implementing advanced traffic-shaping and encryption-hardening strategies.
