    Brief

    This is an award notice for a completed procurement under the GCA RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. The UK Government seeks research to examine cyber security risks and vulnerabilities affecting robots used across multiple sectors including manufacturing, nuclear, marine, agriculture, health and social care, and logistics. The research will analyze how robots may be targeted by cyber attacks, how sensitive data and intellectual property can be compromised, and how vulnerabilities could lead to system downtime or unauthorized access and control. The findings will directly inform cyber security policy measures needed to protect robot use in the UK and will be used by the DSIT Cyber Security and Digital Identity Directorate and Digital Infrastructure Directorate to develop relevant policy guidance and protections.
