Argus, a prominent leader in automotive cybersecurity on a global scale, has recently unveiled its newest innovation – the Argus Development Security Operations Platform (DevSecOps platform) – with the aim of revolutionizing and streamlining the process of securing software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The platform has been specifically tailored to address the complex security challenges encountered by manufacturers of SDVs and their suppliers.
As the automotive industry continues to embrace connectivity and electrification, software has become a crucial component in the design and development of vehicles. This transformation has brought about new challenges for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as the integration of code from various sources and the protection of vehicle software and networks against evolving cybersecurity threats.
In response to these challenges, the DevSecOps platform adopts a “shift left” approach, wherein security measures are integrated into the vehicle design from the very beginning. This proactive approach enables the identification and resolution of security issues during the development phase, ultimately resulting in cost savings and increased efficiency.
DevSecOps automates the integration of security practices at every stage of the product lifecycle, from initial design to integration, testing, and deployment. By incorporating cybersecurity measures from the outset of development, the platform enables automotive manufacturers to reduce development time and costs, improve product quality, and expedite time to market.
The recently introduced Argus DevSecOps platform serves as a comprehensive solution for the early integration of security and compliance protection in the development lifecycle. It provides continuous security checks within the deployment pipeline, allowing developers to identify and address security vulnerabilities at an early stage, thereby avoiding the higher costs associated with detecting vulnerabilities in production software.
Dorothy Amy, an Analyst at Frost & Sullivan, has emphasized the significance of Argus’ DevSecOps platform, noting its role in promoting a secure approach to software development in the automotive industry. Amy has observed that the platform, in conjunction with Argus’ vehicle security and fleet protection offerings, has contributed to Argus’ leadership position in the automotive cybersecurity landscape.
The platform comprises several key components specifically designed for the automotive sector, including the Security AutoDesigner, Code Security Manager, Security AutoTester, and SW Supply Chain Security. These components automate various aspects of the DevSecOps process, leveraging Argus’ cybersecurity expertise to make security accessible to automotive software development teams.
With over a decade of cybersecurity knowledge and capabilities, Argus is well-placed to offer innovative solutions tailored to the unique challenges of the automotive industry. The DevSecOps platform has already been embraced by several automotive manufacturers, further establishing its impact on the sector.
To conclude, Ran Ish-Shalom, Argus’ VP Strategy and Product, has reiterated the platform’s commitment to implementing a “shift left” approach to secure product development, reflecting the company’s dedication to modernizing and securing SDV development toolchains. The platform is evidence of Argus’ ongoing efforts to enhance cybersecurity across the automotive sector, ultimately ensuring the security and compliance of vehicle components, networks, and fleets throughout their lifecycle.
