The industry sector is one that can greatly benefit from this continuous evolution, by which many companies are rushing to migrate to modern solutions. This leads us to address the latest industrial revolution witnessed, the so-called Industry 4.0. Being very advanced, however complex, many concerns arise regarding security and safety issues that cannot be ignored. Cybersecurity threats are also evolving in a way that it becomes more difficult to detect and entirely mitigate the risk. It is then crucial to have security considerations while developing modern industrial solutions so that companies and institutions are prepared to face incoming challenges without unexpected disruptions. Since much research for modern technologies has been made in the past years, in this document it is proposed several guidelines for the implementation of distributed robotic environments with security in mind. From a robotic use case scenario, it is followed the functions Identify, Protect, and Detect from NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework, while performing a detailed analysis over each category. This results in a baseline document that helps future researchers and companies interested in developing robotic solutions with security in mind.engCibersegurançaInformática forenseRobóticaTecnologia da InformaçãoInteligência artificialCyber Physical Systemmaster thesis203691105
