Fujitsu Limited and Upstream Security, cutting-edge security solution provider for connected vehicles, have announced a partnership for vehicle cyber security. The companies will collaborate in the development of security operations solutions for connected vehicles.
Vehicle security
As more vehicles are connected to the network, they are increasingly prone to the growing risk of cyber-attacks. International and domestic committees such as UNECE/WP.29 (The UNECE World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations) have already started discussing regulation and standardisation of cyber security for connected vehicles.
Car manufacturers and fleet operators need to address and protect against vehicle data loss and unlawful vehicle application control while developing solutions for security operations.

Upstream C4 is a cloud-based automotive cyber security solution that leverages AutoThreat Intelligence, the industry's first automotive threat feed. Driven by data, the solution protects connected vehicles and smart mobility services against cyber security threats.
By integrating such a solution with Fujitsu's ICT-SOC (ICT- Security Operation Center) solution and big data processing technology, the two companies will develop a comprehensive connected vehicle security solution that can detect the threats not only in vehicle side but also in the center side. The solution will be gradually rolled out during 2020 for car manufacturers and other mobility companies in Japan, North America, and Europe.

"The partnership with Fujitsu is strategic for Upstream to increase our footprint in the Japanese market," said Yoav Levy, CEO and Co-Founder of Upstream Security. "Our mission is to protect every connected vehicle on the planet by detecting security incidents and remediate them before they become a real threat to the safety and security of drivers and passengers alike."
