TEL AVIV, Israel, July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

This strategic cooperation is the first to focus on vehicle-level risk assessment

Cybellum[https://cybellum.com/], a leader in Automotive Cybersecurity Risk

Assessment solutions, today announces a strategic partnership with The Alliance

Innovation Lab Tel Aviv. Following a successful POC of Cybellum's solution,

done by the Innovation Lab, the two will cooperate to build innovative

cybersecurity technologies to be implemented in the automotive market.

The Alliance is working on four major areas of innovation in order to develop

the mobility of the future: electrification, connected vehicles and services,

autonomous driving, and new mobility services. As part of this effort, one of

the main focus of the Alliance Innovation Lab Tel Aviv is cybersecurity.

"At the Lab, we are looking into fresh, novel approaches to the most

fundamental problems in our industry, among which cybersecurity," says Etienne

Barbier, Director at the Innovation Lab. "Managing software security is no

longer an optional activity for car manufacturers but a mandatory

transformation to a future with fully automated, self-assessed, self-healing

software. The Cybellum team built the technology foundation necessary to make

this future a reality."

Today, most of the risk assessment in the automotive industry is conducted

manually or using tools on a single component level. This methodology can't

scale and only provides partial information. An entire vehicle is a very

complex system composed of over a hundred connected components, with a complex

interconnection.

This strategic cooperation will focus on vehicle-level risk

assessment[https://cybellum.com/technology/], taking into account the

architecture of the vehicle model and the automated assessment of a vehicle's

complex mesh of software and hardware.

"Our collaboration with Cybellum will bring to the market the first solution

that can calculate the risk of a vulnerability in the full vehicle context,

help the Alliance brands to manage the risk accurately, save time and be

competitively prepared for upcoming regulations," said Eldad Raziel, Cyber

Security Leader at the Alliance Innovation Lab.

Cybellum automotive risk analysis solutions automatically detect a wide range

of vulnerabilities in in-vehicle ECUs and other automotive software. Using

upcoming developments from the new cooperation, Alliance companies will be able

to use the Cybellum solution suite[https://cybellum.com/platform/] to gain

full, ongoing visibility to their cybersecurity exposure at the vehicle level

and get the necessary guidance on risk remediation.

"We are happy to collaborate with the Alliance Innovation Lab Tel Aviv. Their

expertise of current and future vehicle architectures together with the

importance of security as a significant part of it creates a shared vision of

how automotive software lifecycle should evolve to meet the new market

realities. This will help us drive our business forward, and with it, improve

the safety of car drivers worldwide," said Slava Bronfman, Cybellum CEO.
