Motor Cybersecurity: New Saas Security, OTA, Blockchain and Members

In the news of automotive cybersecurity this week were Continental, Elektrobit, Argus, VIN, Dash and MOBi

Elektrobit & Argus Cybersecurity Mod Solution for OTA

Elektrobit (EB) announced EB Cadian Sync. Together with ARGUS Cyber ​​Security, this modular solution enables car manufacturers to keep their fleets up to date safely, regardless of size. The new software forms the basis of automated and connected cars and minimizes the risk of security threats.

EB Cadian Sync opens the door to offer software as a product or service (SaaS) over the entire vehicle life cycle. With these new business models, automakers can offer "scalable" vehicles equipped with the necessary hardware for a variety of exclusive features. Consumers can activate the software features after the purchase of the car or for a special occasion. For example, during a road trip, drivers can easily activate Adaptive Cruise Control for more convenience. In addition, with an updated infotainment system, automakers can create a consistent and more modern brand experience.

Cadian EB Sync establishes a secure end-to-end communication channel to enable OTA updates in the car. The scalable, hardware-independent software chain supports OTA software updates in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) used in the vehicle and is not limited to head units and embedded infotainment systems ( IVI). Cadian EB Sync has a modular user interface (UI) portal for seamless management of vehicles, campaigns, and software. EB provides the necessary back-end for such updates as well as all the services required to operate EB Cadian Sync on the customer's choice infrastructure.

More EB and Argus' Offerings

The Continental Technology Company recently announced – computer security solutions and wireless software update integrated into the on-board electronics of vehicles, including the telematics units, infotainment systems, gateways and more of Argus Cyber ​​Security (Argus) and Elektrobit (EB). According to Werner Koestler, Strategy Director, Continental Domestic Division, connected vehicles require state-of-the-art cybersecurity. "Therefore, we decided to offer Argus and Elektrobit end-to-end cybersecurity solutions in all our embedded electronics systems and as a stand-alone solution for third-party products."

Continental, EB and Argus EB Cyber ​​Security Philosophy is a consulting provider, as well as security components for the application layer, hardware-specific security products, AUTOSAR (AUTOMARENT Open System). ARchitecture) basic software and security solutions for boot loaders launching various operating systems. These components, currently on millions of vehicles, are designed for applications such as secure communication, authenticated identification, secure updates and diagnostics.

Argus offers multilayer solutions providing advanced prevention attacks against the vehicle, as well as the ability to detect and respond to attacks in real time with Argus Connectivity Protection installed on telematics and infotainment units and the system Argus intrusion detection and prevention deployed in the embedded network.

Lifespan Protection, an automotive safety operations center, provides an additional layer of prevention, understanding and response by providing OEMs with visibility into the eHealth of their fleets, badyzing fleet information in order to Identify the nature of the attacks. and a quick response to incidents by immunizing the fleet. To react as quickly as possible and install software patches to resolve vulnerabilities in fleets around the world, car manufacturers can rely on EB Cadian Sync's EB software update service

"Our Approach Multilayer is an end-to-end solution to offer automotive cyber security, new product development and continuous monitoring, the ability to resolve vulnerabilities via wireless updates to immunize fleets against future attacks ", explains Koestler Cybersecurity Today and Tomorrow

Continental integrates multi-layered solutions into its portfolio, ensuring that its components are as well protected against attack as possible. Continental is also developing control units that are themselves important components of the safety chain. Continental's Gateway, for example, acts as a router in the vehicle computer network in conventional embedded computing architectures or current domain architectures

"For components constituting an entry point for remote attacks such as telematics systems or infotainment systems. , the requirements have increased significantly over the past two years. As an international automotive supplier, we consider it to be our duty to provide the best possible protection for our customers, "says Koestler.

The Gateway incorporates state-of-the-art security features. Argus and allows basic diagnostics and wireless software update capabilities via EB to monitor the vehicle's eHealth and enable immediate upgrades if needed.In essence, Gateway takes on the role of security master.For future architectures Continental offers the Embedded Server, a high-performance computing unit that acts as a network manager and communications interface, and provides a central architectural element that runs the full range of wireless software updates for remote maintenance and cybersecurity for the entire vehicle
