dSPACE and Argus Cyber Security announced a technology partnership aimed at streamlining the development and compliance of automotive embedded systems.
Through this partnership, the companies enable early-stage (shift left) cyber security testing. By integrating the Argus automation tool – Argus Fuzzing – with dSPACE’s SCALEXIO Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, dSPACE can now offer vehicle manufacturers and suppliers a continuous integration, delivery, and testing (CI/CD/CT) toolchain enhanced with cutting-edge cyber security testing capabilities from Argus.
As automotive systems grow in complexity, developers need to perform cyber security testing early and often to reduce the risks and costs of late-stage vulnerability discoveries. Accordingly, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are looking to incorporate cyber security testing in their CI/CD/CT pipelines and related workflows. This shift left approach enables developers to increase product quality through more frequent tests, while shortening time-to-market by allowing for faster and cost-effective fixes. This trend accompanies the increased need for cyber security testing across the industry as a result of new regulations such as WP.29-UNR 155, ISO/SAE 21434 and the focus on software-defined vehicles.
The partnership enables dSPACE customers to accelerate development timelines and reduce testing personnel by combining cybersecurity testing with network, sensor, and fault simulations. Leveraging Argus’ expertise gained through decades of cyber security research allows automotive manufacturers and suppliers to conduct cyber security testing more efficiently and scalable.
