Argus ECU IDPS

Intrusion Detection and Prevention for ECUs

Argus’ ECU Intrusion Detection and Prevention System reduces risk and drives compliance with detection, protection, logging, and fail-safe capabilities for Posix based ECUs such as Linux, Android and Adaptive AutoSAR.

why now?

Detect and prevent intrusions within vehicle components

Built on widely available POSIX operating systems, core components such as infotainment, telemetry units, and driver assistance systems are exposed to a wide pool of potential increased risks. Vulnerability databases are freely available to malicious actors, and connections like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provide an attack vector. As a result, manufacturers and suppliers need security tools which accommodate automotive-specific requirements and constraints.
