Exploring the Cybersecurity Challenges of Humanoid Robots at Information Security 2026
Under the theme “Trust in People and Technology,” the conference brought together experts from academia, industry, and public institutions to exchange knowledge and perspectives on cybersecurity, digital resilience, and the challenges of an evolving digital landscape.
As humanoid robots become increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, understanding their cybersecurity vulnerabilities and protection strategies is more important than ever. This was one of the topics explored at the Information Security 2026 conference in Portorož, where Comtrade SI contributed to the discussion on emerging security challenges.
Humanoid Robots: New Technologies, New Security Challenges
As robotics and artificial intelligence continue to advance, humanoid robots are becoming increasingly relevant across different environments and applications. Alongside the opportunities they bring, these developments also introduce new cybersecurity challenges that need to be understood and addressed.
Our colleague Albin Duraković, Cybersecurity Engineer at Comtrade SI, contributed to the conference with his presentation, “Humanoid Robot Vulnerabilities and Protection.”
His talk explored emerging cybersecurity risks associated with humanoid robots, highlighting potential vulnerabilities and the importance of effective protection strategies. As these technologies become more connected and capable, ensuring their security is an increasingly important consideration.
The presentation attracted significant interest and encouraged discussion about the security of technologies that are expected to play a growing role in our everyday lives.

From Knowledge to Security, From Security to Trust
The conference highlighted the importance of sharing knowledge and bringing together different perspectives to address emerging cybersecurity challenges.
At Comtrade, we recognize the importance of staying ahead of evolving security risks and contributing to discussions that help organizations better understand and prepare for technological change.
We would like to thank Dr. Blaž Markelj from the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security at the University of Maribor for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to this valuable exchange of knowledge.
