China’s EV industry has grown remarkably, establishing a dominant presence on the global stage. In the past year alone, Chinese consumers bought a record 6.9 million EVs, outstripping Europe’s 5 million and North America’s 2.3 million. This makes China the largest EV market globally.
In comparison, Vietnam’s market is still in its early stages of EV adoption, but with great potential with the rapid growth and expansion of a new homegrown global OEM. Subsequently, Vietnam has seen the sprouting of Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, engineering firms, and security teams to support that growth and to join the global EV trend.
As the EV industry evolves, so does the complexity of cybersecurity needs. Combining GoGoByte’s innovative technologies and strategic partnership in China with VinCSS’s expertise in global security standards, this partnership aims to establish new benchmarks in automotive security across the Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration will focus on the development and implementation of a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity products and services tailored for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to secure the connected car ecosystems from potential threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring that the pace of technological innovation in the EV sector does not surpass the security measures protecting it. Additionally, these efforts will adhere to global regulations and market standards, reinforcing the commitment to international compliance.
“Connected car security is a common challenge faced by the global automotive industry. The partnership with VinCSS aligns well with GoGoByte’s mission to deliver security products and solutions domestically and globally, marking a significant milestone in GoGoByte’s journey towards the international market. VinCSS accumulates rich practical experience from an OEM’s perspective. The partnership will not only help us provide better service to our customers but also act as a bridge between the Chinese and Vietnamese automotive security industries” said Jun Li, CEO of GoGoByte.
Tin T. Nguyen, Director of the Automotive Cybersecurity Division at VinCSS, added, “This partnership with GoGoByte marks strategic progress in allowing for VinCSS to dive deeper into the rapidly growing Chinese EV market. As the influence of Chinese EVs expands worldwide, they’ll have an increasing need to source cybersecurity from experienced teams proficient in providing technical solutions and services, but also global standards and regulatory compliance. GoGoByte is an ideal partner in that they are uniquely positioned so both teams can benefit in providing complimentary support in the growth of the Chinese EV market.”
The strategic partnership not only signifies a significant step towards securing China’s automotive future but also highlights the collaborative efforts required to address the complex challenges of automotive cybersecurity in a globally connected era.
