Sasken and VicOne Join Forces for Comprehensive Automotive Cybersecurity Solutions

Overview

Sasken Technologies Limited, a leader in product engineering and digital transformation, has recently announced a strategic partnership with VicOne, a prominent player in automotive cybersecurity solutions. This collaboration is set to significantly boost cybersecurity measures for vehicles and fleets for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier one suppliers globally.

The Importance of Automotive Cybersecurity

With the increasing connectivity of vehicles and the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), the threat of cyberattacks has amplified. The automotive industry is becoming a prime target for sophisticated cyber threats that can compromise vehicle safety and data integrity. Hence, effective cybersecurity solutions are becoming paramount.

VicOne’s Contributions

VicOne, a subsidiary of Trend Micro, offers a comprehensive suite of automotive cybersecurity solutions. This includes xCarbon, which is designed for intrusion detection and prevention within vehicles, vSOC for fleet monitoring and incident response, and EVSE Security, which protects charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. These solutions are specifically tailored to enhance visibility across fleets, providing actionable insights and contextual information on emerging threats thanks to extensive cybersecurity expertise and industry-leading threat intelligence, which includes over 70 million new data entries each month.

Leveraging Expertise

Sasken will harness its 30 years of engineering experience to collaborate closely with VicOne. This partnership enables Sasken to co-sell, integrate, and operationalize VicOne's cybersecurity solutions at scale. As a result, OEMs and tier one suppliers will be able to implement robust cybersecurity measures in electronic control units (ECUs), operating systems, and cloud systems, ultimately leading to quicker incident investigations and fortified charging infrastructure.

In this collaboration, both companies aim to share knowledge and skills significantly. Sasken's engineers will receive training on VicOne's core technologies, paving the way for strategic system integration opportunities and allowing them to create advanced automotive security options for higher-level platforms, OEMs, operating systems, and services.
