Arilou Information Security Technologies (Arilou) has released central management technology with the intention of enabling dynamic and secure control of in-vehicle communication networks for connected and autonomous vehicles equipped with Ethernet networks. The supplier of cyber security solutions aims to set a standard for Ethernet integration as well as provide security for connected cars of the future.

Called the Ethernet Security Hub, the tool aims to allow complete, real-time management of the interaction between a vehicle’s electronic systems. It works by opening and closing secured communication channels between components in an ad-hoc manner to help limit the number of vulnerable areas to attacks from hackers.

For additional safety and privacy, a GPS transmitter that delivers a vehicle’s location over the cloud can now be programmed to send location information when an accident occurs. The security solution, according to Arilou, does not interfere with the overall functionality of the Ethernet network.

    Technologies to protect connected cars ‘not being utilised’
    A three-year study by IOActive’s Cybersecurity Division has found half of vehicle vulnerabilities could allow cyber attackers to take control of a vehicle - and 71 per cent are ‘easy to exploit’. The research, detailed in a whitepaper, Commonalities in Vehicle Vulnerabilities, is based on real-world security assessments. Technologies which could be exploited include cellular radio, Bluetooth, wi-fi, companion apps, vehicle to vehicle (V2V) radio, onboard diagnostic equipment, infotainment media and Zigbe
