can reduce the risk of hazardous situations.

4. IT security
MiR100 Quick Start (en) 08/2021 - v.2.2 ©Copyright 2016-2021: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 17
4. IT security
ITsecurity is a set of precautions you can take to prevent unauthorized personnel from
accessing MiR100. This section describes the main IT-security related risks and how to
minimize them when commissioning MiR100.
MiR100 communicates all data over the network that it is connected to. It is the
responsibility of the commissioner to ensure that it is connected to a secure network. MiR
recommends conducting an IT-security risk assessment before commissioning the robot.
Contact your distributor for a list of FAQs about IT security and the guide How
to set up MiR products to improve the IT security.
4.1 Managing users and passwords
Managing your users and passwords is the main way you can control access to MiR100.
There are three default users with predefined passwords for you to start using. These are
described in the MiR Robot Reference Guide along with instructions to create new users,
user groups, and passwords. MiR advises you to:
•Change the default password for all predefined users if you choose to continue to use
them. Make sure to choose a strong password since MiR100 does not enforce any
password rules nor expire the password.
•Create new user groups if more levels of access are necessary.
•Create dedicated user accounts under the relevant user group for each person accessing
MiR100, and ensure that the users change the password on their first sign-in. It is not
recommended to have several users share the same account.
•Only enable users with a minimum level of access to use a pin code to sign in. Users with
a higher level of access are recommended to use a strong password to sign in instead.
4.2 Software security patches
To improve the security of MiR100, MiR supplies security patches to the operating system in
new MiR software update files. When you install a security patch, it takes approximately 10-
15 minutes longer to update a MiR product.

4. IT security
MiR100 Quick Start (en) 08/2021 - v.2.2 ©Copyright 2016-2021: Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. 18
Security patches are included from software version 2.8.3 and higher.
Understanding MiR software versions
MiR uses the Major.Minor.Patch.Hot fix format to version software. For example, 2.8.1.1
means that the software is based on the second major release, the eighth minor release of
the major version, the first patch release of the minor version, and, in this example, a single
hot fix is included too.
•Major releases include the most significant changes that affect the entire robot software.
•Minor releases often include new features and smaller changes that only affect parts of
the software.
•Patch releases focus on fixing small issues in the software and introducing quality
improvements.
•Hot fix releases are only created when a patch release has introduced a critical issue that
needs to be fixed immediately.
Security patch policy
MiR applies the following policy when supplying security patches:
•New security patches are distributed per every minor release.
•All patch releases under a minor release include the previous security patches also. In
other words, if you chose not to install the first software version in a minor release, such
as version 2.9.0, the security patches will still be installed when you update to 2.9.1 or
higher.
