Yamaha Motor Group has joined the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) along with three other companies TuSimple, ArmorText and Celerium.
The inclusion of these four companies in the Auto-ISAC will increase the strength of the platform’s position as the voice of the global auto cybersecurity information-sharing community. The platform has been working to prevent cyber threats to the connected vehicle.
As a release by the Auto-ISAC claims, Yamaha Motor Group is taking measures covering both tangible and intangible aspects of cybersecurity to increase protection against external attacks, to detect an attack at an early stage, and to minimize the damage in the event an attack were to occur.
ArmorText, on the other hand, is the creator of ArmorText Secure Teams, a collaboration platform built to meet the specific needs of critical infrastructure providers and regulated industries. It is currently working with automotive suppliers and manufacturers to secure research and development initiatives, existing intellectual property and sensitive communications.
TuSimple develops an autonomous driving solution for the long-haul trucking industry. The company is working to improve safety, efficiency and also to decrease operating costs through the implementation of self-driving technologies to heavy-duty trucks.
Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers back in 2015 to promote collaboration between suppliers, commercial vehicle manufacturers and automobile manufacturers around vehicle cybersecurity issues. It operates as a central hub to share and analyze intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks.
As the release claims, Auto-ISAC’s focus is to foster global collaboration for mitigating the risks of a cyber-attack and to create a safe, efficient, secure and resilient global connected vehicle ecosystem.
