Collaboration to detect automotive hacking

The project to produce a fully integrated solution that addresses the emerging request for protection against intrusion via communication buses in Automotive Body and Gateway applications aims to deliver strong security to fleet managers and consumers.

"This development work allows us to see our software solution tailored to specific devices and applications in the automotive sector," said Ziv Levi, CEO and founder of Arilou. "As automotive cyber security pioneers, working on this project with ST has allowed us to be among the first to take real steps on a path leading to the fully secured vehicle."

Advanced security solutions require a multi-layer approach where both hardware and software monitor the data streams to detect communication anomalies. The combination of the Security Engine embedded in ST's SPC58 Chorus series of automotive MCUs with the capability of Arilou's IDPS software to detect traffic anomalies, provides a state-of-the art cyber-security solution.

Luca Rodeschini, Head of Automotive Strategy and Microcontroller Business Unit, STMicroelectronics, added: "Securing the connected car is a multi-layer project and as a leading supplier of automotive processing solutions, ST is, and must continue to be, at the centre of efforts to monitor systems, detect intrusions, and protect against those intrusions. ST's product, technology, and market leadership requires us to work with security experts like Arilou to anticipate and meet cyber security challenges head on."
