Argus Cyber Security Suite of Solutions integrated with Microsoft's Azure IoT

platform to provide in-vehicle and off-board monitoring, analysis, and

mitigation of cyber attacks from the cloud

Argus Cyber Security[https://argus-sec.com/], a global leader in automotive

cyber security, has collaborated with Microsoft Azure IoT and joined the

Microsoft partner network to provide vehicle manufacturers the ability to

monitor, detect, and mitigate attacks in the cloud.

Argus cyber security suite, integrated with Azure IoT for automotive

applications, includes Argus Fleet

Protection[https://argus-sec.com/argus-fleet-protection/], an Automotive

Security Operation Center (ASOC) solution, in-vehicle insights from Argus

Connected ECU Protection[https://argus-sec.com/connected-ecu-protection/], and

update capabilities with Argus Software Updates Over-the-Air

[https://argus-sec.com/end-to-end-software-updates-ota/](OTA).  This end-to-end

cloud solution is among the first to provide vehicle manufacturers full

visibility into the cyber health of their fleet with on-board and off-board

monitoring.

This collaboration in automotive provides vehicle manufacturers easier access

to security-related in-vehicle information as well as comprehensive coverage of

security events. Argus Connected ECU Protection, deployed on connected ECUs

such as telematics, infotainment centers, and ADAS units, detects operating

system anomalies and suspicious activity in the vehicle according to

customer-defined threat models. Threat models can be based on UNECE R 155

(WP.29), the MITRE Attack framework, or any other chosen model.  Alerts from

the vehicle are sent to Argus Fleet Protection where they are fused with

insights from other sources in dedicated automotive threat hunting and

investigation modules. By integrating end-to-end automotive cyber security with

Microsoft Azure IoT, vehicle manufacturers can leverage data across a wide

range of sources to build a more accurate, all-encompassing cyber intelligence

picture.

Moreover, with Argus Delta OTA update technologies, vehicle manufacturers are

able to implement security updates OTA to immediately reduce exposure to cyber

risks, while reducing vehicle downtimes and deployment costs.  

"We are very excited about joining the world's leading companies running on

Microsoft Azure. It represents a huge leap forward for vehicle manufacturers

seeking to reduce their exposure to cyber risk and comply with existing

standards and regulations, such as UNR 155 (WP.29)," said Miki Hakak, VP

Marketing and Business Development, Argus Cyber Security. "By partnering with a

global leader like Microsoft, we are making it easier for vehicle manufacturers

to cost-effectively introduce cyber security into their vehicles without

impacting production cycles or project risk."

"Cybersecurity is an essential ingredient in the move toward connected and

autonomous vehicles," said Avijit Sinha, general manager for Azure Mobility,

Microsoft. "Argus has comprehensive and modular solutions to ensure security

across a vehicle's complex compute capabilities and networks, whether it's

preventing attacks on safety-critical functions or the theft of personal data.

Argus' collaboration with Microsoft Azure IoT provides a path for automakers

looking to execute on their goal of secure connected and autonomous vehicles."
