UNR 155 requires OEMs to monitor incidents and risks to their vehicle fleets over the entire lifecycle. More specific UNR 155 and China's GB/T vehicle cybersecurity standards, stipulates detailed intrusion detection requirements and use cases for monitoring CAN bus networks. "Compliance with UNR 155 and China's GB/T standards was a key component for our product launch strategy, including European and other non-US markets that require cyber security type approval" said Alexander Bermudez, CISO and DPO at Fisker. "Argus understands the cyber security neds of the high-growth EV market, and we relied on their expertise and guidance to ensure a successful CAN IDPS implementation. "The EV market represents the future of mobility, and Fisker is clearly at the cutting-edge of sustainable automotive technology," said Zeev Farkash, Argus VP Sales. "Our CAN IDPS product will be integrated on all Fisker Ocean SUVs, providing a key component in Fisker's vehicle cybersecurity architecture and thereby enabling Fisker to meet automotive cyber security regulations in the relevant markets." Using real-time, rule-based analysis of CAN traffic, Argus CAN IDPS enables Fisker to identify potential threats and anomalies, including new threats specific to EVs, and proactively mitigate risks before they impact vehicle operations. In the testing phase, Fisker and Argus validated anomalies to minimize false-positives in production, which in turn reduces the volume of events sent to the backend (VSOC) system.
