When the line stops, the loss is measured in £/hour.
FMCG runs on uptime across many sites, a deep supplier and logistics network, and a widening
IT↔OT seam — defended by lean, stretched security teams. A single ransomware event can idle
production and empty shelves. Robo8 adds an explainable, sovereign detection
and triage layer on top of what each site already runs, so an intrusion is caught and reasoned
about before it reaches the plant floor.
The pressure
Ransomware downtime priced in lost production and spoiled stock.
IT/OT convergence — office compromise becomes a factory problem.
Many sites, thin coverage; alerts outpace the team.
Retail/e-commerce card data (PCI) and recipe/IP to protect.
Where Robo8 fits
Correlates IT signals to flag lateral movement toward OT early.
Known-exploited-first scanning across sprawling, often-legacy software.
One explainable incident per entity — not a wall of per-site alerts.
Self-hosted; plant and customer data never leave your estate.
A scenario
A phishing click on a corporate laptop is followed by credential use probing a
segment that borders the plant network. Robo8 fuses the endpoint and network signals into one
high-confidence incident, cites the technique, and — in dry-run — recommends isolating the host
before it pivots into OT. The SOC acts on one decision, with the evidence attached.
Robo8 supports these objectives; it is not a
substitute for your compliance programme or a qualified assessor.
Industry brief · Automotive
Audit-grade cyber, from the plant to the supply chain.
Automotive carries every manufacturing risk plus a regulated vehicle-cybersecurity regime, a vast
Tier-1/2/3 supply chain, and connected-vehicle/dealer estates. WP.29 R155 and ISO/SAE 21434 now
require a demonstrable cybersecurity management system — monitoring and incident response you can
prove. Robo8's glass-box verdicts and tamper-evident audit are built for exactly that.
The pressure
R155 / ISO 21434 demand evidenced monitoring & incident response (a CSMS).
Deep supply chain (TISAX) + dealer networks widen the attack surface.
High-value design IP and connected-vehicle telematics to defend.
Where Robo8 fits
Every verdict cites technique + evidence — the audit trail a CSMS needs.
Cross-source correlation across plant, supplier and dealer signals.
Exploitability-ranked vulnerability tracking with deadlines.
Sovereign & on-prem — fits OEM and supplier data boundaries.
A scenario
An alert from a Tier-1 supplier's connection and an anomaly on a plant jump-host
point at the same campaign. Robo8 correlates them into one incident with a cited verdict and a
recommended, human-gated containment — and writes the whole chain to an audit trail you can hand to
an R155 assessor.

Industry brief · Financial services
An AI SOC analyst your examiner will actually trust.
Banks, credit unions and fintechs face exam pressure, operational-resilience rules and strict
data-residency — with lean teams and a stack they've already had audited. Robo8 is the
explainable, self-hosted layer that triages alerts and shows the reasoning behind every call, on
top of what you run today.
The pressure
Examiners ask "why did the tool decide that?" — black boxes can't answer.
DORA / operational-resilience: provable detection & response.
Customer data can't leave the building.
Lean teams, relentless alert volume.
Where Robo8 fits
Every verdict cites technique, evidence & confidence; all audited.
Known-exploited-first vuln scanning mapped to your SOC 2 evidence.
Self-hosted with local models — data stays on your infrastructure.
Rides on Wazuh / your SIEM / EDR — no rip-and-replace.
A scenario
Impossible-travel in the cloud and Kerberos errors on the endpoint fuse into one
identity incident with a cited ATT&CK verdict. The reversible step (revoke tokens) is staged for
one-click approval; the destructive one waits for a human. The morning report writes itself from the
audit trail.
