vCore: Unified Vehicle Cyber Protection System

Secure SDVs While Cutting Data Costs by 80%

The cloud-to-vehicle security backbone built for the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era. PlaxidityX vCore is a comprehensive Vehicle Cyber Protection system powered by our underlying Vehicle Detection & Response (VDR) platform. By seamlessly unifying in-vehicle security sensors (IDPX) and intelligent edge management (IDXM, IDXR) with advanced cloud-based analytics (VPCC), vCore fuses detection, prevention, and response into a single, cohesive infrastructure.

Use Case

Avoiding Security Blind Spots and Data Overload

Today’s connected vehicles face a critical challenge: cybersecurity across the ecosystem is fragmented, reactive, and disconnected. This creates several critical risks for OEMs:

  • Unsustainable Costs: Raw, low-value logs drive cellular data and cloud ingestion costs to unsustainable levels.
  • Analyst Burnout: Real threats are buried under a mountain of “data junk,” leading to SOC fatigue and slow investigations.
  • Tool Sprawl: Relying on disconnected solutions from multiple vendors creates dangerous security blind spots.
  • False Security: Treating cybersecurity as a mere regulatory checklist leaves vehicles vulnerable to remote network exploits.

To effectively protect their connected fleets, OEMs need a unified and optimized approach to vehicle cybersecurity.

Why do OEMs choose vCore?

Optimized Security

Unified edge-to-cloud solution eliminates vendor sprawl, neutralizes complex threats and optimizes SOC operations by processing data where it makes the most sense.

Slash Operational Costs

By filtering noise at the source, vCore shrinks cellular data usage by ~80% and cuts cloud ingestion costs by 40%.

Agent-Agnostic Flexibility

Acts as a single source of truth by ingesting, filtering, and normalizing data from any 3rd-party agent or legacy sensor – no need to completely replace current agents.

High-Fidelity AI Detection

The cloud focuses on fleet-wide visibility, using a threat-informed AI model to highlight the 1% of true security attacks and filter out false positives. Trained on our deterministic IDPS heritage and real-world attack vectors defined by our elite Red Team, it thinks exactly like an L3 analyst.

Automotive DevSecOps

Contextual Enrichment

Instantly enriches alerts with TARA findings, supply chain vulnerability data, and telematics context to validate attack impact.

Future-Proof Agility

Push new detection rules and security configurations to vehicles instantly from the cloud without requiring full FOTA updates.

vCore Multi-Layer Technology Stack

Smart Edge In-Vehicle Protection

IDPX: Sensors across the vehicle (CAN, Ethernet, Host) that monitor raw network traffic and system calls for immediate threat detection.

IDXM: Centralizes decision logic, collects security-relevant events from multiple ECU sources, and normalizes them for streamlined analysis.

IDXR: AI-powered edge engine that analyzes signals locally, intelligently filters out noise before transmission, and acts as the secure bridge to the cloud.

Intelligent Cloud Core Protection

VPCC (Vehicle Protection Cloud Core): Central cloud intelligence hub that ingests, parses, normalizes, and enriches telemetry data. It correlates Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) fleet-wide and pushes dynamic updates back to the vehicle via a continuous feedback loop.

Integrations with Threat Intelligence & Enrichment Feeds

vCore optionally integrates with specialized data feeds to provide deep context. For example, vCore can automatically map threats to your TARA process by integrating with Security AutoDesigner, helping you prioritize risks based on actual vehicle impact. It can also integrate with SW Supply Chain Security to improve security across the supply chain and facilitate compliance with UNR 155/156 vulnerability management requirements. To help analysts distinguish between malicious activity and edge-case operational behavior, vCore enriches security alerts with contextual vehicle state data (e.g., speed, location, power mode) from the telematics logs.
