Robotics security & governance

Treat every robot as a privileged mobile endpoint.

Humanoids and autonomous machines combine physical mobility with software, credentials, sensors and enterprise access. Solarion applies identity, software provenance, least privilege, telemetry and evidence around that operating surface.

TRUST BOUNDARY

Management authority should remain separate from motion safety.

Solarion governs identity, software, lifecycle and evidence. Safety-rated motion, emergency stop, protective systems and functional safety remain the responsibility of the robot/OEM platform and qualified integrators.

SEPARATEMotion safetyRemain under OEM / certified safety systems.
Threat model

Secure the machine across identity, code, network and operations.

01 / IDENTITY

Credential theft or impersonation

Use unique robot credentials, rotation, revocation and a persistent CPID rather than a shared fleet secret.

CONTROL → device-bound identity + status
02 / SOFTWARE

Unapproved AI or runtime drift

Compare approved package digests with the robot's reported state and surface mismatches before they disappear into logs.

CONTROL → desired vs. reported state
03 / NETWORK

Excessive service reachability

Treat the robot as an endpoint that receives only the access required for its current mission and environment.

CONTROL → segmentation + least privilege
04 / SUPPLY CHAIN

Tampered dependency or update

Bind software versions, digests and approval events to deployment state and preserve provenance.

CONTROL → signed artifacts + evidence
05 / OPERATIONS

Compromise during active deployment

Expose identity state, predictive anomalies and quarantine actions to operators and relying systems.

CONTROL → suspend / quarantine / recover
06 / EVIDENCE

Incomplete incident reconstruction

Preserve who changed what, when and under which robot identity and policy state.

CONTROL → hash-linked audit history
Zero Trust sequence

Never trust a robot because it is on the network.

01Resolve identity

CPID + issuer + lifecycle state.

02Verify posture

Credential + software + context.

03Evaluate policy

Scope + role + environment.

04Observe continuously

Telemetry + health + drift.

05Record evidence

Decision + change + review.

Production hardening

The MVP establishes the control model. Production adds stronger roots of trust.

Security by architecture

Make trust state visible before the fleet becomes operationally critical.

Solarion Robotics™ can support a security architecture review, robot identity design or controlled deployment program around your existing robot platform.
