Protection and Detection Solutions

Protecting Customer Automobiles from Cyberattacks

The future of driving is connected, from next-gen cockpits to high-performance computers. Seamlessly integrated components and constant network connectivity will revolutionize the user experience. While this enhances convenience, it also increases the risk of cyberattacks that could result in unauthorized control of functions such as driving, steering, and braking. We offer a variety of solutions to respond to these risks.

Cyber Security Robustness Solutions
VERZEUSE™ for Runtime Integrity Checker

By constantly verifying the software installed in automobiles from a trusted area, we can improve the robustness of cyber security protection functions. We were the first in the industry to commercialize this solution.

Virtualization Security Solutions
VERZEUSE™ for Virtualization Extensions

In this solution, our system connects virtualized automotive components, detects, and protects against cyberattacks in networks, and protects automobiles from new security threats.

The value of these advantages has been recognized and adopted by car manufacturers.

We are developing a series of security solutions and services called VERZEUSE™ to combat cyberattacks. VERZEUSE™ will ensure the safety and security of automated driving functions and network services in next-generation cockpits.

Cloud-based Monitoring Solutions

Monitoring Automobiles for Security

When an abnormality is detected in an automobile by our protection and detection solutions, analysis must be performed to determine the correct response.

The Vehicle Security Operation Center (VSOC) analyzes and manages information transmitted from automobiles using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), our cloud-based monitoring system. Our SIEM achieves highly accurate, automated analysis using AI with our automotive security technology and security information collected by the Panasonic Group’s products including home appliances, IoT devices, factories, etc. By promptly and accurately analyzing the status of vehicles and the behaviors of attacks, we can response to cyberattacks quickly and reduce potential damages.

Security Operation Center(SOC)

We can protect automobile safety by monitoring large numbers of automobiles from the VSOC and responding to cyberattacks. Cyberattacks are immediately analyzed for quick response and recovery when they are detected by SIEM.

Design and Development

Compliance with cyber security regulations* based on 30 years of experience

Automobile cyber security measures are now globally mandated by law, with measures required at all stages of the automobile lifecycle from development, manufacturing, post-shipment to disposal.

Panasonic Group is deeply involved in the development of security technologies and their application to products, as well as technology development and mass production. We have accumulated security technology know-how for more than 30 years, starting from the product development of digital home appliances, which were the first to require cyber security technology.

We provide realize practical and speedy solutions backed by our accumulated know-how to support regulation compliance. In threat analysis conducted in the early stages of automobile development, we provide automated analysis services to improve development efficiency.

* International standard for automotive cyber security (UN-R155) was passed at the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) in June 2020 adopted by many countries,.
