Argus ECU Protection Product Modules

POSIX-Based ECUs

System Limiter

Mandatory-access control that uses utilizes automotive-specific techniques to protect system data and code on the ECU.

Platform Integrity

Protects automotive environments by preventing execution and usage of unverified code and data on the ECU at boot and during runtime.

Threat Detection

Detects known and unknown cyber threats and attacks by continually monitoring the ECU and alerting of suspicious behavior.

ECU Firewall

Prevents attacks from spreading to the in-vehicle network by blocking malicious communications using Deep Packet Inspection.

Security Logger

Logs, securely stores, and protects data integrity . Sends the data in a secure manner to other entities in or outside the vehicle for future analysis.

Classic AUTOSAR and Bare-Metal ECUs

Control Flow Integrity (CFI)

Prevents exploitation of vulnerabilities in ROP (Return Oriented Programming), by ensuring that the ECU program does not deviate from its expected execution flow.

Security Logger

Secure logger aligned with the IdsM standard.

Key Features

Supports Linux, Android and QNX operating systems

Saves time with seamless Integration and easy configuration

Designed for easy reuse across ECUs

Evaluation Kit

To enable a fast, effective product evaluation and provide hands-on experience with Argus ECU Protection, Argus offers an evaluation kit based on a Raspberry Pi SBC:

Functional Evaluation

Evaluate Argus ECU Protection features and capabilities across multiple use-cases (example: attempt to execute unsigned binary)

Performance Evaluation

Validate that Argus ECU Protection has negligible/zero impact on its host and monitored processes (example: execution time of a single application)
