While other cybersecurity solutions embed software into ECUs to protect systems,GuardKnox's Secure Network Orchestrator (SNO) serves as a complete domain controller for network-level protection,effectively securing all network communication and ECUs from hacks and intrusions while serving as the foundation for vehicle personalization. GuardKnox's solutions create a secure in-vehicle environment for data and application hosting,processing,and storing via secure isolation and partitioning.

"GuardKnox plans to continue developing high-performance,consolidated,flexible,and scalable computing platforms for current and next-generation vehicles alongside strategic industry majors and partners," said Vinay Venkatesan,Consultant at Frost & Sullivan. "In June 2019,it gained strong support from the French global automotive supplier,Faurecia as well as many global players including Fraser McCombs Capital,Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC),Plug and Play,the Livnat Family,Allied,and Kardan. In addition to these corporations,GuardKnox also received investment from a group of esteemed European executives,including Dr. Paul Achleitner,Dr. Juergen Hambrecht,Dr. Kurt Lauk,Prof. Dr. Roland Berger,Michael Diekmann,and Peter Loescher among others who invested in their own personal and private capacity.We expect these partnerships and investments will help GuardKnox expand its footprint and leadership beyond Europe."

Meanwhile,its end-to-end solution developed through collaborations with numerous cloud service and security providers have been enabling a variety of new services based on the secure transmission of information between service providers or operational centers and the vehicles. The solution empowers OEM vendors to secure over-the-air communication among the vehicle,the cloud,and their operation centers using the GuardKnox platform. The GuardKnox Communication Lockdown™ Methodology provides robust,verifiable,and efficient attack resistance capabilities,unlike competing solutions that heavily rely on IT or learning solutions that require constant connectivity,network scanning,and machine learning.

"The company's patented comprehensive hardware and software in-vehicle solutions can easily integrate with vehicle systems during the production process," noted Venkatesan. "Due to GuardKnox's high-performance and computing capabilities,secure software firmware and hardware upgrades are enabled over-the-air,thus eliminating the need for additional,expensive hardware."
