GoGoByte and HardenedVault recently signed an exclusive strategic cooperation agreement to jointly provide Linux kernel security solutions, kernel 0day exploit detection and mitigation, fuzzing test services and solutions to customers in automotive industry.
Connected cars carries increasingly sensitive data, they are soon to be the next mobile phone or PC, a platform which many internet companies will be competing on, with the rapid adoption of autonomous/assistant driving technology the possible consequences of cyberattacks will be more serious than before, security has become an important foundation for the development and innovation of the automotive industry.
From various controllers and Tbox inside vehicle to cloud servers , Linux is widely used in all aspects of the connected cars, so to ensure the security of the connected cars, it is very important to ensure the security of Linux systems. HardenedVault team has been focusing on Linux security for more than 10 years, covering areas such as chip security, firmware security, kernel hardening, HardenedVault‘s recently launched solution for Linux kernel 0day vulnerability exploitation mitigation is world-leading, according to Ubuntu security tracker, MITRE vulnerability libraries, and testing of public exploits, and analysis of exploit techniques, the solution can prevent more than 95% of Linux vulnerabilities exploits without security patches, and is easily deployed in the form of LKM kernel modules. GoGoByte will work with HardenedVault to bring the solution to the automotive industry’s embedded application and cloud backend.
In addition, GoGoByte will work with HardenedVault to provide customers with state-based fuzzing test services and solution, which will fully take advantage of diverse Linux security experience from HardenedVault and deep understanding of automotive cybersecurity from GoGoByte. The advantage of the jointly offered fuzzing test solution is that its correlate the specific automotive application with its related kernel modules, thus providing targeted and prioritized coverage, it will help the increase the stability and security of customers application.
“Building a security system is like building a castle out of LEGO bricks, which are not enough and require excellent architectural understanding, ” says Jun Li, founder of GoGoByte. “Cybersecurity defense system is not simple product stacking, a variety of security defense measures and products need to be organically combined, GoGoByte will help customers build effective cybersecurity castle, with every piece of security building blocks. ”
Shawn Chang, CEO of HardenedVault, said: “The partnership with GoGoByte is conducive to further exploiting the technical advantages of HardenedVault, with its solutions solidly landing in this increasingly important industry, automotive. HardenedVault is willing to do a good job of security building blocks such as kernel security, and together with GoGoByte to help customers build a solid cybersecurity castle.”
As a cybersecurity company committed to providing automotive customers with comprehensive security solutions and services covering the entire life cycle of connected cars from concept phase to decommission phase, GoGoByte is actively building a partner ecosystem, working with security partners in chip, module, communications, cloud and other fields to provide customers with a full range of security solutions and services, securing the automotive industry’s technologic development and innovation.
