Beyond Security and Cybellum Announce Partnership

The integrated solution will provide automated security scanning and a thorough vulnerability management analysis across the connected car lifecycle to ensure the automotive software security and compliance with road vehicle norms and regulations.

FREMONT, CA: Beyond Security, a major provider of automated security testing and compliance solutions from HelpSystems, recently announced that it has teamed up with Cybellum, a leader in automotive cybersecurity risk assessment solutions. The integrated solution will provide automated security scanning and a thorough vulnerability management analysis across the connected car lifecycle to ensure the automotive software security and compliance with road vehicle norms and regulations.

“Combining Beyond Security’s and Cybellum’s solutions provides automotive makers a complete testing package for known and unknown vulnerabilities and is the key for a secure automotive future,” said Aviram Jenik, Co-founder and CEO, Beyond Security.

Modern vehicles feature hundreds of interconnected ECUs (electronic control units) created by various suppliers, making them a hotbed for cyber-attacks. To address this issue, new strict standards are being created, which are aimed to push cyber responsibility throughout the automotive supply chain. Automotive manufacturers will be able to test any component or embedded software at any stage of development, with or without access to source code, thanks to a strategic agreement between Cybellum and Beyond Security. Users can acquire a precise blueprint of vehicle software components by scanning binary code.

They will also be able to discover known and new vulnerabilities, as well as runtime flaws, misconfiguration, and gaps in compliance with security rules and industry standards, using dynamic analysis. This enables automakers to ‘look under the hood’ of any embedded component, regardless of whether the code is open-source, commercial, or proprietary. Vulnerabilities can be identified and remedied before manufacturing and after the vehicle has been deployed.

“We are honored to be partnering with a strong cyber player like Beyond Security,” said Slava Bronfman, Co-founder and CEO, Cybellum. “Looking for the source of a cybersecurity risk often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. This strategic partnership will help automotive manufacturers to gain control over their risk assessment and mitigation, from design to production and beyond.”
