vDome

Keyless Car Theft Prevention System

PlaxidityX vDome is a comprehensive, AI-powered anti-theft service designed to actively protect vehicles from modern tools for keyless theft techniques. By combining the powerful TDPX in-vehicle agent with continuous cloud-based threat intelligence (VPCC), the vDome system stops CAN injections, key fob replications, and emulator attacks in their tracks.

Use Case

The Automotive Theft Epidemic Requires Active Prevention

Keyless car theft has evolved into a critical business crisis for the automotive industry. Attackers are utilizing dark-web tools to steal vehicles in seconds – costing car owners, insurance companies and car manufacturers billions of dollars annually. This epidemic results in severe reputation damage, increased insurance premiums, and plummeting sales for heavily targeted models.
Traditional Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) solutions only track a vehicle after it is gone. OEMs require an active, embedded shield that stops theft in its tracks. Powered by the TDPX edge agent, the vDome system moves beyond passive tracking to instantly detect and neutralize theft attempts before the engine even starts.

vDome Features

Real-time Detection

The TDPX agent detects malicious CAN messages sent by a hacking device in under 200 milliseconds with zero false positives

Keyless Theft Prevention

vDome is designed to protect the vehicle while parked and powered down. It provides continuous, active monitoring from the moment the engine is turned off. Once a malicious attack message is identified, the TDPX agent immediately triggers a prevention action

Pre-Emptive Wake-up

The TDPX agent remains vigilant even when the vehicle is powered down. It wakes up milliseconds before an attack executes to intercept malicious messages

Forensic Buffering

The TDPX agent records vehicle network traffic. Incident-triggered retrieval of the last seconds of activity allows the PlaxidityX Threat Research Lab to analyze the attack path and generate new defensive signatures

VPCC-Powered Threat Intelligence

The TDPX agent integrates with the Vehicle Protection Cloud Core (VPCC) for fleet monitoring and data analysis. The VPCC immediately provides new defensive signatures, based on dark web attack discoveries, to the TDPX agents to immunize the fleet

Stand-Alone Theft Prevention

vDome TDPX agent remains fully operational in offline environments, such as underground parking or remote rural areas, where GPS and cellular connectivity are unavailable. The TDPX agent functions as a standalone autonomous unit, executing real-time countermeasures at the edge to neutralize theft attempts without requiring cloud connectivity
