Tel-Aviv, Israel and Santa Barbara, CA — July 29th, 2020 — Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security, and PlaxidityX, a global leader in automotive cyber security, today announced the membership of PlaxidityX into the Green Hills ecosystem of best-in-class technology providers.
The partnership follows a successful automotive customer collaboration in which the PlaxidityX Control Flow Integrity product has been jointly integrated to work with Green Hills Software’s industry-leading optimizing C/C++ compiler. The joint solution will be securing safety-critical ECUs in vehicles of a major European OEM starting in Calendar Year 2021. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on software and connectivity, their exposure to cyber-attacks increases. Leveraging the existing security and safety capabilities of the Green Hills C/C++ Compiler, the PlaxidityX Control Flow Integrity integration supports AUTOSAR classic devices running on the Renesas RH850 processor family, providing protection from cyber attacks such as buffer overflows with zero false positives.
“By optimizing PlaxidityX Control Flow Integrity for the Green Hills Compiler, we have succeeded in reducing the complexity and time involved for automotive software developers to enhance cyber security in their platforms.” said Nir Rozen, VP Product Management, PlaxidityX.
“We are excited to be working with PlaxidityX and have them join our rich ecosystem of best-in-class technology providers.” said Chris Tubbs Business Development Director EMEA, Green Hills Software.

Compliant with ISO 26262 ASIL B, PlaxidityX Control Flow Integrity protects also safety-critical ECUs in the vehicle, such as braking, ADAS and more, from cyber-attacks. In addition, PlaxidityX Control Flow Integrity will work with ECUs running high-level operating systems, AUTOSAR Classic, and bare metal ECUs.
