GlobalLogic and PlaxidityX Join Forces

In a significant development for the automotive industry, GlobalLogic, a leader in digital engineering and part of the Hitachi Group, has partnered with PlaxidityX, an expert in automotive cybersecurity. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the development lifecycle of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) by integrating PlaxidityX's advanced security solutions into GlobalLogic's robust SDV Cloud Framework.

With the rise of onboard connectivity and software-enriched functionalities in vehicles, the automotive landscape has seen a digital transformation over the past decade. However, with this advancement comes heightened risks concerning cybersecurity. The new partnership intends to provide a secured development environment, thereby allowing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to streamline their processes without compromising on security standards.

The core of this partnership lies in the amalgamation of PlaxidityX’s cutting-edge DevSecOps platform into GlobalLogic's SDV Cloud Framework. This integration enables automakers to incorporate a strong security framework throughout the various phases of software development—assuring compliance with stringent security policies while also managing costs and accelerating development timelines.

Ramki Krishna, Group Vice President and General Manager for Automotive and Industrial Business at GlobalLogic, stated, "By integrating DevSecOps functionalities from PlaxidityX at every level of our SDV Cloud Framework, we are not only enhancing security measures to comply with industry standards but also shortening development cycles and reducing costs. Our focus is on cultivating trust and reliability in our software-defined vehicles, which is vital in today’s fast-evolving automotive market."

The PlaxidityX DevSecOps platform comes equipped with a suite of tools designed to automate various security tasks, including Threat Assessment and Remediation Analysis (TARA), code assessments, vulnerability scanning, and security testing. These automated checks ensure that security is woven into the fabric of the development pipeline, empowering developers to detect and address vulnerabilities early in the process, significantly lowering the risks associated with late-stage issues.

Ran Ish-Shalom, VP of Product Strategy at PlaxidityX, expressed his excitement regarding this partnership, saying, "It's an honor to be recognized as GlobalLogic's preferred security partner for SDV development. By leveraging our DevSecOps expertise, we are able to merge cloud-native strategies with advanced security methodologies, thus fostering a unified development environment that enhances the security and efficiency of SDV projects."

The increased collaboration between GlobalLogic and PlaxidityX represents a significant stride toward establishing safer, more efficient software-defined vehicles—a crucial factor in ensuring consumer trust as the era of connected vehicles continues to expand globally.
