THE COMBINATION OF
ARGUS’ AND ERICSSON’S
SOLUTIONS WILL
PROVIDE AUTOMAKERS
COMPREHENSIVE
CYBERSECURITY
COVERAGE OF THE CLOUD,
CONNECTED SERVICES
AND VEHICLE FLEETS.
A
rgus Cyber Security, a
global leader in automotive
cybersecurity, has
announced a collaboration
with Ericsson to provide seamless
cybersecurity for the connected
automotive ecosystem across vehicle
cloud services, fleets and vehicles.
As the number and diversity of connected
services that interact with vehicles
continues to increase, cyberthreats also
evolve and grow. Recent cyberattacks on
vehicles via connected services have led
automakers to understand that securing
vehicles and passengers from attacks
through these services is paramount to
ensuring consumer trust, the success of
these platforms and safety.
The collaboration involves integrating
Argus Security Operation Centre with
Ericsson’s Connected Vehicle Cloud
platform to provide automakers with an
additional powerful layer of security that
leverages intelligence findings across
both platforms. The combined insights
equip automakers with actionable
intelligence derived from Big Data
analysis across millions of connected
vehicles and their cloud services to
identify the first signs of an attack
campaign and mitigate its damage by
immunising the fleet in hours.
In addition, Argus’ multi-layered
cybersecurity solutions embedded in the
vehicle provide real-time protection from
cyberattacks, including attacks on remote
vehicle commands originating from
the cloud – such as heating the interior
cabin and opening the vehicle door – via
smartphone applications.
The combination of Argus’ and Ericsson’s
solutions will provide automakers
comprehensive cybersecurity coverage of
the cloud, connected services and vehicle
fleets. The companies will work hand-in-
hand to enable automakers to securely
integrate and monetise the connected
vehicle ecosystem.
