Automakers will have access to end-to-end cybersecurity coverage of vehicles, connected services and the cloud under a new partnership between Argus Cyber Security and Ericsson announced on Friday.
The Argus Security Operation Center will be integrated with Ericsson’s Connected Vehicle Cloud system under the partnership. Automakers will be able to mine data generated by millions of connected vehicles and cloud services to identify attacks and mitigate damage faster.
“In order to enable an increasing number of vehicle cloud services to interact with a vehicle, the automotive industry recognizes 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,” Yoni Heilbronn, chief marketing officer of Argus Cyber Security, said. “Together with Ericsson, we are helping automakers ensure the security and privacy of their customers through comprehensive cybersecurity solutions and services, while simultaneously maintaining consumer trust and brand identity.”
Claes Herlitz, the head of connected vehicles at Ericsson, said the collaboration will offer “an attractive proposition” for original equipment manufacturers. They will be able to securely manage a large number of connected vehicles with Ericsson’s Connected Vehicle Cloud and Argus’ vehicle protection and threat detection.
