- Dspace, a German supplier of simulation and validation solutions, and Argus Cyber Security, an Israeli specialist in automotive cybersecurity, have formed a technological partnership aimed at automating the cybersecurity testing process for automotive embedded systems.
The two partners will combine their solutions so that cybersecurity testing can be carried out at an early stage (Shift-Left approach) in the development process of automotive electronic systems.
By combining the Argus Fuzzing automation tool with Scalexio hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, Dspace says it can now offer automakers and suppliers a continuous chain of integration, delivery and test (CI/CD/CT) tools with cybersecurity testing capabilities.
The development of increasingly complex automotive systems requires early and frequent cybersecurity testing to reduce the risks and costs associated with the late discovery of vulnerabilities.
Vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers therefore want to integrate cybersecurity testing into their CI/CD/CT flows and related workflows. This so-called Shift-Left approach aims to enhance the quality of electronic devices by conducting tests more frequently. This will also help to shorten product time-to-market, since corrections can be made more quickly. There is also a growing need for cybersecurity testing in line with new regulations such as WP.29-UNR 155 and ISO/SAE 21434.
