- Security design and development based on 30 years of experience
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.
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,.
Automating threat analysis needed for protecting vehicles from cyberattacks helps efficient development.
The Continuing Battle Against Cyberattacks
We provide robust automobile security that leverages the wide range of technologies and experience we have
cultivated over the years to build safe and secure automotive lifestyles for all our customers. We will
continue to provide innovative security solutions in response to the ever-changing threat of cyberattacks.
In the coming years, as automotive security becomes even more important, we will maintain our world-leading
technology in this field and contribute to the further growth and development of the automobile
industry.
We will also continue to contribute broadly to the security of our customers’ lives by applying the
technologies we have accumulated in the automobile industry to other areas of the Panasonic Group, such as
home appliances.
