According to foreign media reports, Karamba recently announced that the company has developed an anti-hacking software to provide network security protection for connected vehicles.
With the popularity and improvement of car interconnection and automation, car companies are worried about the cyber security of vehicles, fearing that hackers, terrorists, extortionists and thieves will invade their vehicles, not to mention the bear children who like to play tricks.
Internet security for connected vehicles is worrying
When two white-hat hackers successfully invaded Jeep Cherokee in 2015, people were more worried about the cyber security of vehicles. The hacking incident forced FCA to recall 1.4 million Jeep Cherokee in order to fix software vulnerabilities in Uconnect's in-vehicle infotainment system.
Hackers often invade a user's tablet, server, or mobile phone to take up or steal the data they need. When the intruder becomes a connected vehicle, the motives and consequences of hacking will fundamentally change, and the pressure on network security faced by car companies and users will be even greater. For example, if a hacker successfully invades a moving vehicle, it may cause a traffic fatal accident, and the common anti-intrusion software may be slow to cope with the vehicle accident.
Automotive industry's response to hacking vehicles
David Barzilai, chairman and co-founder of Security, said: "To eliminate user concerns about vehicle network security, it is not enough to ensure data security. Various security measures are needed to prevent vehicles from being hacked. It is different from ordinary server security protection and enterprise network security protection."
He said: "When a hacker successfully invades a vehicle system and then uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify malware, this method is not desirable, because then everything is too late. There is only one way to solve it: in a hacker When attempting to invade a vehicle system, be sure to block it to protect the vehicle system."
At present, although the market for automotive network security is small, the market will grow rapidly with the emergence of emerging technologies such as wireless communication in the workshop. Harman International responded as the manufacturer of the Uconnected Jeep Cherokee in-vehicle infotainment system, Uconnect. In early 2016, the company acquired an Israeli network security company, TowerSec, to improve its network security technology.
Another Israeli competitor, Argus Cyber ​​Security, recently discovered that the use of a dongle can invade the vehicle's electronic system and provide a technical demonstration. The electronic dog is a seemingly bland small flash drive that can be run after the USB port or other port of the vehicle is plugged into the vehicle. Both Tesla and FCA offer "bug bounty" monetary rewards to encourage hacker technology enthusiasts and amateur hackers to find software vulnerabilities they discover and report them to car companies.
The way of hacking - electronic control unit and wireless network
In view of the differences in hacker skill levels, motivations, and innovative modus operandi, a comprehensive cybersecurity protection method has not yet been developed to sever the hackers' invasion of the vehicle's electronic architecture.
A high-end car may be equipped with hundreds of electronic control units (ECUs) (actually small computers) that build the electronic architecture of the vehicle through interconnections, but only the car infotainment system and the remote keyless entry system ( Remote keyless entry) The wireless control unit uses wireless to communicate with the outside world, which provides an opportunity for hackers to invade the vehicle.
Karamba's software protection solutions and limitations
Karamba is committed to the intrusion prevention of vehicle systems and locates the critical layer of large network security design. Karamba's anti-hacking software has been embedded in the electronic control unit manufacturing, so this function has been incorporated into the factory settings of the electronic control unit and cannot be modified at will. The software is designed to block suspicious code generated during intrusions and prevent hackers from stealing data from electronic control units. All codes that do not match the factory settings must not access the electronic control unit.
Barzilai said that if software monitors are used to find and destroy malware, the response speed is too slow, and developers are required to continue to promote software upgrades in order to get rid of the hackers. Hackers will also try to deceive such security programs, not to mention their hacking skills. He said that such programs sometimes have false positives. For drivers and passengers in the car, false positives are quite dangerous and may hinder safe driving behavior.
Glen De Vos, chief technology officer at Delphi Automotive, said that with the continuous development of vehicle connectivity such as autonomous driving, wireless networks will be used to transmit data to the cloud or other vehicles in the future, and Karamba will not be able to take full control of it. Security layer.
He said: "You can think of connected cars as Xbox or PlayStation (two electronic game consoles) or mobile phones, your software and data not only exist in the device, but also upload cloud backup. And Karamba provides anti-hacking Intrusion software is just one of the important components, not all."
Company dynamics of Karamba
Since automotive network security is a relatively new area of ​​expertise, Karamba believes that its software can be incorporated into the vehicle electronics architecture currently under development or to be designed. In May of this year, the company announced the completion of the B round of financing, with a capital of 12 million US dollars, the total investment has now reached as much as 17 million US dollars. Among the many investors, Fontinalis Partners has to be mentioned. The company's co-founder is Ford Motor's chairman Bill Ford Jr. Karamba claims that the company has had “business negotiations†with 16 suppliers and car companies in 2016, but no cooperation has yet been reached.
Karamba's four founders are senior in the Israeli high-tech electronics and software industry. Two of them have even served in the 8200 under the Israeli Defense Ministry. The department is well known as a think tank. They are cyber warfare. (cyberwarfare) is experienced, and among its alumni, there are also founders of startups.
