hand to enable automakers to securely
integrate and monetise the connected
vehicle ecosystem.
“In order to enable an increasing
number of vehicle cloud services to
interact with a vehicle, the automotive
industry recognises the need for a holistic
cybersecurity strategy, which demands
multi-layered, end-to-end cybersecurity
covering every node in the ecosystem,
throughout a vehicle’s lifespan,” said Yoni
Heilbronn, Chief Marketing Officer, Argus

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 Center 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 with
Claes Herlitz, Head of Connected Vehicles
at Ericsson, commented: “We are offering
an attractive proposition for automotive
OEMs through the combination of Ericsson’s
Connected Vehicle Cloud’s ability to securely
manage a large number of connected
vehicles with an in-vehicle expert like Argus
and its capabilities for vehicle protection and
threat detection.”
The collaboration leverages Ericsson’s
communications expertise built over 140
years and from connecting billions of
people through connectivity infrastructure,
and Argus’ decades of experience in
cybersecurity and automotive, as well as
the innovation of 39 granted and pending
patents. Argus is already working with the
major OEMs of connected and autonomous
vehicles around the world. n
