The brief

Robotics is rapidly advancing and with ever-increasing capabilities there are massive opportunities to improve public services and so make people’s lives better.

Unlike traditional IT systems robots interact with the physical world.

This means that cyber-attacks can potentially result in not just data breaches, but also operational disruption, safety hazards and physical harm.

So unless clear standards, assurance requirements and robust testing are established and in place, there are risks to robotics adoption at scale in the public sector supply chain.

So how can we ensure that robotic systems are resilient, trustworthy and capable of withstanding evolving cyber threats?
