Trustonic and VicOne have announced an extension of their strategic partnership with the introduction of a new, sophisticated layered defense solution to enhance cybersecurity in the automotive sector. This collaboration integrates VicOne's xCarbon Intrusion Detection or Prevention System (IDS/IPS), which uses edge AI to process vehicle data into actionable insights, with Trustonic's Kinibi Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), aiming to improve threat detection and autonomous response at the electronic control unit (ECU) level.

The solution builds on the previously launched IDPS Trusted Application by Trustonic and VicOne in 2023, offering a robust cybersecurity architecture for software-defined vehicles globally. Andrew Till from Trustonic highlighted the complementary nature of advanced technologies like Kinibi, xCarbon and xCarbon Edge AI in providing comprehensive protection against evolving cybersecurity threats in the automotive industry.

William Dalton from VicOne emphasized that this partnership moves beyond integrated technology by establishing a secure execution and response framework crucial for the future evolution of vehicles. Trustonic, based in the UK, implements cybersecurity technology in smart devices and vehicles, supporting OEMs with secure foundations for innovation. Since its EAL5+ certification for 'Kinibi' in 2022, Trustonic's platform has been deployed in over 2 billion smart devices and 20 million vehicles, with no safety violations reported. VicOne, founded in 2022, offers a wide range of cybersecurity software and services tailored to the automotive industry's needs.
