The Robot Immune System (RIS) is the resulting work of more than two years of research and development funded by the Basque  
Government and the European Union, among others. Led by a cellular biologist, our team which includes biologists,
roboticists, security researchers and software engineers brought immunological concepts to and advanced software system that detects, protects and prevents robots against malicious attacks.

As the Human Immune System (HIS), RIS adapts to its environment and evolves over time.

The following video summarizes the biology behind the Robot Immune System (RIS).

## How does  it work?

RIS gets deployed directly into your robot or robot component. It delivers an inside-out cyber security solution to your robot, securing it against malware. Its unique architecture allows to block, prevent, record and visualize all
malicious activity while continuously adapting.

## Certified for  industrial  cybersecurity

SECURITY-CERTIFY YOUR ROBOTS

RIS' modern software architecture is based on the defense in depth principle and meets the software component requirements of IEC 62443 part 4-2 for industrial use. Meet industrial cyber security requirements by installing RIS in your robots.

Proyecto ZL-2021/00456 - RISCon proiektua PROGRAMA DE AYUDAS DE APOYO A LA I+D EMPRESARIAL - HAZITEK. ACTUACIÓN COFINANCIADA POR EL GOBIERNO VASCO Y LA UNION EUROPEA A TRAVÉS DEL FONDO EUROPEO DE DESARROLLO REGIONAL 2021-2027 (FEDER)

SEGRES (EXP 00131359 / MIG-20201041). Duración del proyecto: Octubre 2020 – Diciembre 2023 (3 años).

SEGRES tiene como objetivo avanzar en la conceptualización de un nuevo modelo de ciberseguridad, con un enfoque resiliente, holístico e integral, inspirado por el complejo Sistema Inmunitario Humano y sus diferentes tipos de barreras y de respuestas de los que dispone para impedir la entrada de patógenos en el organismo, y caso de producirse, tratar de reducirlos lo antes posible, aprendiendo a reconocerlos para poderlos identificar si vuelven a aparecer en un futuro y hacerles frente apropiadamente, tratando en todo momento de mantener el equilibrio homeostático del organismo que en el caso de SEGRES se corresponde con la resiliencia y la sostenibilidad de la industria ante la ocurrencia de posibles anomalías y ciberataques.
