Cybellum Announces a Strategic Design Partnership on Vehicle-level Cybersecurity With Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi's Innovation Lab in Tel Aviv
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

This strategic cooperation is the first to focus on vehicle-level risk 
assessment

Cybellum[https://cybellum.com/], a leader in Automotive Cybersecurity Risk 
Assessment solutions, today announces a strategic partnership with The Alliance 
Innovation Lab Tel Aviv. Following a successful POC of Cybellum's solution, 
done by the Innovation Lab, the two will cooperate to build innovative 
cybersecurity technologies to be implemented in the automotive market.

The Alliance is working on four major areas of innovation in order to develop 
the mobility of the future: electrification, connected vehicles and services, 
autonomous driving, and new mobility services. As part of this effort, one of 
the main focus of the Alliance Innovation Lab Tel Aviv is cybersecurity. 

"At the Lab, we are looking into fresh, novel approaches to the most 
fundamental problems in our industry, among which cybersecurity," says Etienne 
Barbier, Director at the Innovation Lab. "Managing software security is no 
longer an optional activity for car manufacturers but a mandatory 
transformation to a future with fully automated, self-assessed, self-healing 
software. The Cybellum team built the technology foundation necessary to make 
this future a reality."

Today, most of the risk assessment in the automotive industry is conducted 
manually or using tools on a single component level. This methodology can't 
scale and only provides partial information. An entire vehicle is a very 
complex system composed of over a hundred connected components, with a complex 
interconnection.

This strategic cooperation will focus on vehicle-level risk 
assessment[https://cybellum.com/technology/], taking into account the 
architecture of the vehicle model and the automated assessment of a vehicle's 
complex mesh of software and hardware.

"Our collaboration with Cybellum will bring to the market the first solution 
that can calculate the risk of a vulnerability in the full vehicle context, 
help the Alliance brands to manage the risk accurately, save time and be 
competitively prepared for upcoming regulations," said Eldad Raziel, Cyber 
Security Leader at the Alliance Innovation Lab.

Cybellum automotive risk analysis solutions automatically detect a wide range 
of vulnerabilities in in-vehicle ECUs and other automotive software. Using 
upcoming developments from the new cooperation, Alliance companies will be able 
to use the Cybellum solution suite[https://cybellum.com/platform/] to gain 
full, ongoing visibility to their cybersecurity exposure at the vehicle level 
and get the necessary guidance on risk remediation. 

"We are happy to collaborate with the Alliance Innovation Lab Tel Aviv. Their 
expertise of current and future vehicle architectures together with the 
importance of security as a significant part of it creates a shared vision of 
how automotive software lifecycle should evolve to meet the new market 
realities. This will help us drive our business forward, and with it, improve 
the safety of car drivers worldwide," said Slava Bronfman, Cybellum CEO.
