Green Hills Software Expands Leadership in Automotive Cybersecurity

Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security, announced today it has adopted the two new international security standards and regulations for automotive cybersecurity – ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29  for the INTEGRITY real-time operating system (RTOS) and associated products and services. For decades, Green Hills has been an industry-recognized leader helping electronics manufacturers create and deploy embedded systems at the highest levels of safety and security. By offering compliant products and associated evidence reports for these new standards, Green Hills will build upon its proven pedigree as the foundational run-time software provider trusted by OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers for automotive electronics. Utilizing these new security standards enables manufacturers to design and deploy purpose-built, secure, software-defined systems in connected vehicles, including highly automated driving, high performance compute clusters, domain controllers, vehicle gateways, telematics, keyless entry, diagnostic connections and electric vehicle charging stations, to name a few.
As reliance on vehicle connectivity grows and demand for software-defined services rises, the risk of cyberattacks against connected vehicles continues to rise. With over 100 ECUs and hundreds of millions of lines of code, connected vehicles are a target-rich platform for cyberattacks. Multiple points of entry to modern connected vehicles provide opportunities for malicious vehicle control, fraud, and data-breaches that threaten companies, drivers, and road users. A single exploited security vulnerability could put an entire fleet of vehicles at risk, numbering in the millions. With nearly 80% of new cars connected1 to the internet, cybersecurity breaches have the potential to put billions of dollars in sales and lawsuits at risk – not to mention the damage to brand reputation.
As a result, governmental bodies and independent regulators are drafting two related measures for managing cybersecurity threats throughout a connected vehicle's lifecycle. Green Hills is collaborating with its customers and adopting cybersecurity assessment policies for the following:
The draft ISO/SAE 21434 "Road vehicles – Cybersecurity engineering" Standard was recently published by SAE International and ISO (Organization for Standardization). It is a baseline for vehicle manufacturers and suppliers to ensure cybersecurity risks are managed efficiently and effectively from both a product lifecycle and organizational perspective spanning concept, development, production, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
The WP.29 regulations from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) make OEMs responsible for cybersecurity mitigation in four cybersecurity areas spanning the entire vehicle lifecycle: managing cyber risks; securing vehicles by design; detecting and responding to security incidents; and providing safe and secure over-the-air (OTA) software updates. While WP.29 defines concrete examples of threats and mitigations, OEMs can choose how they show the threats are addressed, such as complying with ISO/SAE 21434. The regulation is expected to be finalized in early 2021 and applied initially to many member nations including European nations, South Korea, UK, and Japan, and will likely influence vehicle homologation polices in the US, Canada and China.
WP.29 will be legally binding within adopting countries, and while the ISO/SAE 21434 standard is not a regulation, it is expected to be widely accepted in the global industry like ISO 26262 is today.
"Connected cars bring significant risks and rewards to OEMs and their suppliers," said Chris Rommel, Executive Vice President, IoT & Industrial Technology at VDC Research. "Green Hills has earned a high stature in the industry for supplying security-critical foundational software to companies building life-critical systems like aircraft avionics, vehicle ADAS and medical equipment, and its support of these new cybersecurity standards is noteworthy."

"ISO/SAE 21434 and WP.29 are valuable additional steps towards protecting connected vehicles from cybersecurity vulnerabilities," said Dan Mender, VP of Business Development at Green Hills Software. "Green Hills has decades of experience developing and delivering security-certified technologies at the highest levels. Adopting these standards expands our offerings to global automotive OEMs and their suppliers bringing the industry's leading secure software run-time environment to next-generation connected vehicle electronics."

Cyolo Unveils Key Insights into OT Cybersecurity Threat Landscape from KuppingerCole and Releases Cyolo 4.3 for Enhanced Security

Business Wire | September 27, 2023

Today, Cyolo, provider of the fastest and most secure zero-trust access and connectivity solution for hybrid organizations with IT and OT, in partnership with KuppingerCole, released an industry analysis focused on zero trust and remote access for operational technology (OT) environments. The analysis reveals key insights about the OT cybersecurity threat landscape, outlines high-level security architecture for OT, critical infrastructure systems (CIS) and industrial control systems (ICS), and evaluates key requirements of security regulations and frameworks. OT environments experience the same kinds of threats as enterprise IT – including ransomware, account takeovers, APTs, and Supply Chains as vectors – while experiencing expanded OT-specific threats. While traditional IT security tools may be adapted, developing robust security architectures for OT environments is inherently complex compared to their IT counterparts. Its unique nature, from equipment and software to communication protocols requires dedicated OT security solutions. Cyolo can help organizations with OT infrastructure to define and manage access control to those complex environments, said John Tolbert, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole. Overall key insights include: OT Threat Landscape. Heightened geopolitical factors have intensified attacks on OT and ICS, posing significant consequences ranging from operational disruptions and service denial to financial repercussions and potential harm to human well-being. Core Cybersecurity Regulations. The risks and consequences of cyber-attacks against critical infrastructure advanced regulations globally mandating secure architectures and technical controls. KRITIS and the follow-on IT Security Act 2.0 are related examples of such regulations, as well as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. OT Security Architectures and Key Functionalities. There are eight areas of functionality that are central to effective OT security architectures. Cybersecurity architectures for OT must address asset discovery, access control, IT security tool integration, detection and response capabilities, and OT protocol level threats. As the analysis breaks down, within critical infrastructure interruptions and downtime are not an option. To address the increasing need for secure access in OT environments, Cyolo introduced Cyolo 4.3, which expands key capabilities with more layers of security and making the product easier than ever to use for both administrators and end users in the industrial space. With Cyolo 4.3, industrial organizations will be able to extend their multi-factor authentication (MFA) across environments through an integration with Duo Security to support their physical tokens as required. Additionally, the company has implemented another layer of security for file transfer within the OT/ICS environment, through query anti-virus software to scan files before they are delivered to their destination. Cyolo is also adapting for further usability, allowing teams to securely invite external users by generating a secure one-time password; and import groups from existing IdPs, using SCIM. “Ensuring the security of critical infrastructure and industrial processes has become increasingly critical as organizations unite their IT and OT systems. This convergence has expanded the OT threat landscape and introduced significant cybersecurity challenges, as the once-isolated OT networks are now vulnerable to the same threats that have targeted IT networks for years” said Joe O'Donnell, Vice President ICS/OT of Cyolo. “With Cyolo 4.3, industrial entities can confidently navigate the complexities of the modern threat landscape and fortify their defenses against evolving cyber threats.” The announcement of Cyolo 4.3 highlights the company’s commitment to advancing zero-trust capabilities and it comes on the heels of Cyolo being listed as a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner® “Market Guide for Zero Trust Network Access” report for the second consecutive year and recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2023 North American New Product Innovation Award for Secure Remote Access to Operational Infrastructure and Industrial Control Systems (OT/ICS).
