TAIPEI, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

GuardKnox(https://www.guardknox.com/), an automotive technology company

building high-performance, secure-by-design products for the next generation of

mobility, and Carota(https://www.carota.ai/), a global one-stop Over-The-Air

(OTA) upgrade and remote diagnostic full solution provider, today announced

their collaboration to deliver seamless OTA update capabilities for car

manufacturers using secure end-to-end communication. Carota's OTA solutions,

integrated with GuardKnox's deterministic in-vehicle cybersecurity

Communication Lockdown™ methodology, will empower Carota's OEM customers and

usher in the next generation of secure, connected and autonomous vehicles.

As the next generation of mobility takes shape, OTA updates serve as an

efficient and seamless way for OEMs to offer vehicle software and firmware

updates. With Carota OTA capabilities, OEMs can remotely deliver new

functionalities, features enhancements and security patches to improve the

driving experience and vehicle's safety. Additionally, the patented Carota

Delta Technology reduces the size of the update package by up to 95%, shortens

the update process, and saves on communication costs.

"From mobile phones to computers and now automobiles, OTA updates are the

future of mobility, and Carota is an essential partner for producing vehicles

that will excite consumers," said Moshe Shlisel Co-Founder and CEO of

GuardKnox. "GuardKnox's pioneering approach enables OEMs and Tier 1s to create

vehicles that can not only be updated to avoid safety recalls, but also to

provide exciting and innovative updates that will change the way drivers and

passengers can interact with their vehicles."

GuardKnox has pioneered a patented approach for vehicle networks that uses the

secure SOA solution to enable any Electronic Control Unit (ECU), High

Performance Computer (HPC) or Domain Controller to serve as a vehicle-wide

computing platform. By integrating secure SOA capabilities into ECUs, GuardKnox

can maximize the functionality, security and safety of connected and autonomous

vehicles while lowering the complexity of developing software and services that

will customize vehicles and generate new revenue streams for OEMs and third

parties. In addition, GuardKnox expedites the development of software, enables

a wider range of functionalities, and lowers both development and software

maintenance costs. The Carota one-stop OTA solution will operate alongside the

GuardKnox SOA platform and be a secure landing point enabling updates to be

safely rolled out across the entire vehicle.

"We are delighted to partner with GuardKnox to provide our customers a secure

and comprehensive OTA solution," said Carota CEO and Founder, Mr. Paul Wu. "OTA

updates are essential to keeping the vehicle's software and firmware up-to-date

and Carota aims to become a key supplier of connected car software services in

the OTA and remote diagnostics fields. A majority of China automotive OEMs have

already adopted and implemented our OTA capabilities."
