Trustonic and VicOne have expanded their partnership, introducing a cutting-edge layered defence solution aimed at enhancing cybersecurity in the automotive sector.
The integration marries VicOne’s xCarbon Intrusion Detection or Prevention System (IDS/IPS), enhanced with edge AI, with Trustonic's Kinibi Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This combination is set to improve threat detection, ensure data integrity, and provide autonomous response capabilities directly at the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) level.
Cybersecurity architecture
This new solution builds on the successful IDPS Trusted Application that the two companies introduced in 2023. By amalgamating the IDPS, TEE, and Edge AI technologies, they provide a resilient cybersecurity framework tailored for software-defined vehicles globally.
Andrew Till, Trustonic's General Manager of Secure Platform, highlighted the collaboration’s strengths: "Kinibi, xCarbon and xCarbon Edge AI all bring advanced technologies to the table that not only complement one another but also aid in protecting the automotive sector from ever-evolving cyber security threats."
