Varoa owns the last inch between digital intent and physical motion. We protect robotics systems against cyber-physical security threats at the actuation level, ensuring physical safety and fleet reliability through hardware-enforced trust.
Imagine a biological parasite, but for robots. We call this class of threat a 'Hardware Parasite'.
Unlike traditional software hacks that trigger alarms, cyber-physical security threats physically alter the signals between a robot's brain and its muscles (actuators). To the motion controller, everything looks normal. But physically, the robot is forced to behave dangerously—moving when it shouldn't or applying unauthorized kinetic force—completely bypassing standard software-based security.
Status: VULNERABILITY DETECTED
Current software-only defenses cannot
mitigate cyber-physical security threats at the actuation level.
We bridge the gap between software commands and physical reality through three core pillars of actuation-level protection.
Establishes an immutable, cryptographic ID for every motor and joint to secure identity at the actuation level.
Acts as a high-speed electrical circuit breaker, isolating drive system power at the actuation level during cyber-physical anomalies.
The node reads the actuator's own physical state to tell a real attack apart from motor noise and environmental interference — so it stays available in noisy, real-world conditions instead of false-alarming into shutdown.
Varoa isn't a hardware vendor. You build your boards to our published reference design and license our firmware and IP — no Varoa hardware in your supply chain. Varoa signs your fleet's trust artifacts and gives you a complete, exportable audit trail. It's the model built for manufacturers who own their hardware but don't want to build a security team.
Choose an engagement model and licensing terms that fit your scale and hardware portfolio.
Fabricate boards directly to the Varoa reference design and integrate the firmware into your actuator assembly.
Varoa cryptographically signs your devices during commissioning; you deploy with a fully signed audit chain.
In a world increasingly reliant on autonomous systems, cyber-physical security threats are not just software bugs—they are physical liabilities. By protecting robotics systems at the actuation level, Varoa secures your fleet, your reputation, and the public from catastrophic kinetic events.
Don't hire a 10-person product security team to pass EU CRA audits. Just use Varoa Enforcer and check the box.
From 11 December 2027, the EU Cyber Resilience Act makes cybersecurity mandatory for products with digital elements — and the EU Machinery Regulation (2023/1230) makes it an essential health-and-safety requirement for robots. Varoa is designed for IEC 62443 and built for that deadline. Start now.
