Open architecture approach

The ESCRYPT VSOC follows an open architecture approach and integrates all sensors in the vehicle and its IT environment that provide information relevant for cybersecurity monitoring. This includes network-based intrusion detection for the CAN bus, automotive Ethernet firewalls and IDS as well as host-based intrusion detection for Linux, QNX, and Android ECUs, and support for the complex distributed IDSarchitectures of modern E/E architectures.

Threat detection and response

Two software engineers collaborate on a project involving vehicle schematics and global data, likely discussing development or deployment strategies.

Threat detection and response

ESCRYPT CycurGUARD, our product for backend monitoring, collects and analyzes anomaly reports of vehicles in operation, combining automated and manual analysis. Automatic classification of events and automated processing of known attack patterns are combined with the manual alert validation of forensic automotive security experts to identify emerging threats. This enables event-based threat hunting, incident support, and proactive response with network threat containment.

A holistic solution for intrusion detection and prevention

Integrated security solutions are the only way to reliably protect connected vehicles against cyberattacks. New regulations and standards like UN R-155 and ISO/SAE 21434 require continuous monitoring of incidents and risks of vehicle fleets to effectively implement and update risk-appropriate security mechanisms. One essential component is the ESCRYPT Vehicle security operations center (VSOC) as part of a holistic intrusion detection and prevention solution.

This diagram illustrates ETAS's in-vehicle distributed Intrusion Detection System (IDS). It shows how IDS sensors in different vehicle components, such as classic/adaptive AR ECUs and the telematics control unit, feed data into ESCRYPT CycurIDS software modules. These modules perform pre-analysis of security incidents and communicate with the ESCRYPT Vehicle Security Operations Center (SOC).
