At CES, AUTOCRYPT and Anritsu signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), highlighting a shared commitment to advance security testing methodologies for vehicles globally.
The collaboration will integrate AUTOCRYPT’s Cybersecurity Testing Platform (CSTP) with Anritsu’s Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, which provides a simulated 5G network environment. The partnership aims to simplify and enhance cybersecurity testing, ensuring robust protection for evolving vehicle systems.
“By combining our decades-long expertise in cybersecurity with Anritsu’s network simulation capabilities, we’re setting a new standard for security testing in the 5G era,” said Daniel ES Kim, GCTO of AUTOCRYPT. “Testing can often be a cumbersome process, deterring type approval. But with AutoCrypt CSTP, OEMs gain access to a customised, efficient testing platform. Our partnership with Anritsu will further streamline testing, empowering OEMs to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements and provide more drivers with a secure driving experience.”
“With the increasing concern over vehicle safety, cybersecurity testing has never been more vital,” added Yukiharu Ogawa, IoT Test Solution Division General Manager of Anritsu. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with AUTOCRYPT in delivering the tools necessary to test systems through our cellular network simulator. With this MoU formalised at CES, we believe it will highlight both our companies’ dedication to fostering a safer future.”
The MoU comes at an essential time, as both governments and regulatory organisations worldwide are implementing stricter cybersecurity standards for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). With frameworks such as the UNECE’s WP.29 UN R155, 156, India’s AIS-189, and China’s GB/T standards, automotive manufacturers and suppliers are facing mounting pressure to demonstrate compliance.
AUTOCRYPT and Anritsu’s collaboration will also enable comprehensive security testing for a variety of applications beyond vehicle communications systems. The collaboration will address the diverse security demands of modern day connected mobility, offering the industry an efficient solution to meet regulatory requirements, as well as enhancing resilience across a broad spectrum of technologies.
