dSPACE, provider of solutions for simulation and validation, and automotive cybersecurity company Argus Cyber Security have announced a technology partnership aimed at streamlining the development and compliance of automotive embedded systems.
Through this partnership, the companies enable early-stage (shift left) cybersecurity testing. By integrating the Argus automation tool - Argus Fuzzing - with dSPACE's SCALEXIO Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, dSPACE can offer vehicle manufacturers and suppliers a continuous integration, delivery and testing (CI/CD/CT) toolchain enhanced with cybersecurity testing capabilities from Argus.
As automotive systems grow in complexity, developers need to perform cybersecurity testing early and often to reduce the risks and costs of late-stage vulnerability discoveries. Accordingly, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are looking to incorporate cybersecurity testing in their CI/CD/CT pipelines and related workflows. This shift left approach enables developers to increase product quality through more frequent tests, while shortening time-to-market by allowing for faster and cost-effective fixes. This trend accompanies the increased need for cybersecurity testing across the industry as a result of new regulations such as WP.29-UNR 155, ISO/SAE 21434 and the focus on software-defined vehicles.
The partnership enables dSPACE customers to accelerate development timelines and reduce testing personnel by combining cybersecurity testing with network, sensor, and fault simulations. Leveraging Argus' expertise gained through decades of cybersecurity research allows automotive manufacturers and suppliers to conduct cybersecurity testing more efficiently and scalable.
