TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Argus' game-changing penetration testing technology enables coverage

guided fuzzing to detect vulnerabilities in binary code in embedded

devices.

Argus Cyber Security, a global leader in cyber security for connected mobility,

today announced it has been awarded the "Automotive Cybersecurity Innovation of

The Year" award in the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards.

As vehicles become increasingly software-driven and connected, their exposure to

cyber risk increases. To address this risk and comply with regulations such as

UNR 155 and GB/T, vehicle manufacturers need ways to verify that their vehicle

software is free of vulnerabilities.

One common automatic testing technique is fuzzing, which sends multiple messages

to a target system, such as a vehicle electronic control unit (ECU), until it

triggers a bug. The ideal fuzzing method is coverage-guided fuzzing. However,

coverage-guided fuzzing is virtually impossible for testing binary code of

embedded software due to the time and effort involved during setup. Now for the

first time, vehicle manufacturers can cost-effectively test their embedded

software, potentially find more vulnerabilities, and mitigate them before they

cause damage.

"Argus patent-pending technology allows coverage-guided fuzzing in what would

otherwise be a black box security pen test activity." said Yaron Galula, CTO

Argus Cyber Security. "Prior to this innovation, it wasn't feasible for vehicle

manufacturers to use coverage-guided fuzzing for testing embedded devices."

This technology complements Argus Vehicle Vulnerability Management solution

(VVM) which automates the monitoring, detection, and mitigation of

vulnerabilities in vehicle assets. With signed production projects to secure

over 65 million vehicles, vehicle manufacturers are relying on Argus to help

them understand their vehicle vulnerability risk exposure and respond fast.

"The mission of the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct

the industry's most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of automotive and

transportation technology categories. This year's program attracted more than

1,400 nominations, including industry leaders such as Mercedes Benz and Ford,

from over 15 different countries," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of

AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. "Argus' innovation raises the bar on cyber

security for the entire Automotive industry." Congratulations on being our

choice for 'Automotive Cybersecurity Innovation of the Year."
