Maximum security

The EDAG Group ensures secure connectivity through comprehensive cybersecurity and functional safety services for SDVs and the development infrastructure. These services use AI-supported penetration tests and a development process that is designed for maximum security from the outset.

  • Protection of the vehicle architecture
      • Secure communication: Protecting data flows between control units (ECUs), sensors, actuators and the cloud against manipulation and eavesdropping.
      • Segmentation of networks: Separating safety-critical and non-critical networks to contain attacks.
      • Secure booting: Ensuring that firmware is authentic and unchanged (secure boot, trusted platform modules).
  • Security management for over-the-air (OTA) updates
      • Authentication and encryption: Ensure that only authorized and authentic software enters the vehicle.
      • Traceability and patch management: Traceability of updates and rapid provision of security patches.
      • Attack detection and response
      • Intrusion detection systems (IDS): Monitoring of vehicle networks for unusual activity for real-time detection of attacks.
      • Incident response mechanisms: Automatic isolation of compromised systems and rapid reporting.
  • Protection of the cloud infrastructure
      • Cloud security: Securing the cloud systems that interact with vehicles (e.g. fleet management, AI training data, vehicle diagnostics).
      • Data integrity: Protection against unauthorized access to and manipulation of vehicle data.
         
  • Security of applications and APIs
      • Secure APIs: Protection against vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).
      • Code audits: Regular software checks for vulnerabilities and backdoors.
  • Cryptography and Key Management
      • Encryption of sensitive data: Protect confidential information (e.g. location or user data).
      • Key management: Ensure that cryptographic keys are created, distributed and stored securely.
