In this episode of the Robotics & Automation Podcast, we sit down with Endika Gil, CEO of Alias Robotics, to uncover one of the most overlooked—and potentially catastrophic—threats in industrial automation: robot cybersecurity.

Endika brings a unique perspective, blending deep expertise in cybersecurity with hands-on experience in robotics. From mobile robots and collaborative arms to AI systems and regulatory frameworks, he sheds light on the vulnerabilities that could take down entire factories in minutes—and what companies need to do to stay protected.

If your business relies on automation, this is not a conversation you can afford to miss.

🚨 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✅ Why robots are more exposed than we think—even when disconnected from the cloud

✅ The real cost of a cyberattack: €20,000/minute in factory downtime

✅ What the new Cyber Resilience Act means for manufacturers and factory leaders

✅ How mobile robots and AI systems are opening new cybersecurity risks

✅ Why 0% of robots are secure by default, and what companies must do about it

✅ Who’s responsible—and why CEOs and boards will be held accountable

🛡️ If your robots are connected, they’re vulnerable. And if they’re vulnerable, so is your business.

Listen now and learn how to turn cybersecurity from an afterthought into your factory’s first line of defense.
