Ethernet Protection

Intrusion Detection and Prevention for automotive Ethernet networks

PlaxidityX Intrusion Detection and Prevention System for in-vehicle Ethernet networks provides network monitoring, threat detection, and attack prevention options. It can be integrated into an ECU as an AUTOSAR firewall or a library, or embedded in a switch firmware such as EB zoneo SwitchCore Shield.

Autosar Firewall Protection Software
why now?

Address new regulations and the increased cyber-risk with service-oriented architectures

Software-defined vehicles are increasing the demand for automotive Ethernet and its protocols (such as SOME/IP). This change significantly increases the number of potential malicious actors as well as the types of risk that vehicles and manufacturers are exposed to. To achieve vehicle homologation and manage risk, manufacturers must balance the opportunities offered by in-vehicle Ethernet with cyber security controls.
