C2A Security adds additional
security control to Vector’s
AUTOSAR basic software
2A Security, an Israel-based
C
global leader in automotive
cybersecurity, has announced
that it has successfully integrated its
endpoint cybersecurity protection
technology with Vector’s AUTOSAR
classic basic software. This integration
– the first of its kind – will enable
AUTOSAR developers to add an
additional security control to automotive
ECU projects without impacting
time to market or harming safety
compliance and with negligible runtime
performance impact.
C2A Security’s endpoint solution
safeguards the ECU by offering
comprehensive runtime protection while
complying with safety and security
standards. It detects malicious activity
in real time and prevents attackers from
leveraging potential vulnerabilities at
the ECU level.
“Tier 1s and OEMs are increasingly
applying cybersecurity controls
in AUTOSAR embedded software
projects,” said Nathaniel Meron,
Chief Product and Marketing Officer
at C2A Security. “The integration of
our endpoint security into Vector’s
basic software, a market leader when
it comes to AUTOSAR basic software
and tools, gives AUTOSAR developers
several advantages, e.g. they are now
able to seamlessly add C2A’s endpoint
runtime protection technology as a
security sensor into AUTOSAR projects
following the AUTOSAR methodology.”
“The automotive industry is increasingly
deploying security controls in vehicle
E/E architectures. These controls
include secure boot, secure OTA, HSMs,
diagnostic authentication, policing,
vehicle key management and secure
onboard communication,” said Dr Eduard
Metzker, Automotive Cybersecurity
Solution Manager at Vector Informatik.
“Intrusion detection and prevention
systems (IDPS) are a meaningful addition
to the set of available security controls.
IDPS systems require a wide range
of different security sensors. We see
C2A’s runtime protection technology
as a potential security sensor of a
distributed onboards IDPS. The proof
of concept which was created during
the collaboration showed that the C2A
engineers are able to successfully
integrate C2A’s runtime protection
technology with Vector AUTOSAR
basic software.” u
