As security requirements and legislation for auto manufacturers continue to increase, so does the demand for penetration testing, or "pentesting." Pentesting is becoming a requirement for all new Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that need to be cyber-secure, but the rising cost of pentesting is a major concern. This is due to the growing number of devices that must be tested, the limited number of available penetration testers with the appropriate skills, and the lack of automated tools.

Weston, MA – May 22, 2023- BG Networks has unveiled its groundbreaking CRATE^TM (Collaborative Remote Automated Test Environment) platform for remote penetration testing. Revolutionizing the testing and monitoring of automotive ECUs, CRATE allows product security professionals to securely access ECUs from anywhere across the globe. By linking remote penetration testing expertise with centrally located ECUs, CRATE accelerates time to market while reducing costs.

Winners have been chosen based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points).

Patent pending, AnCyR (Anomaly Detection and Cyber-Resilience) host-based software anomaly detection technology provides a real-time front line of defense for embedded connected devices. Based on five years of research at the University of Arizona with support from the National Science Foundation, AnCyR combines statistical, probabilistic, and machine learning algorithms to accurately detect attacks with best-in-class false positives, latency, and overhead.

Join BG Networks at hall 4 booth 344 during embedded world 2023. There it will showcase its BGN-SAT, an intuitive GUI-based embedded processor security deployment tool that enables engineers, even those without cybersecurity backgrounds, to implement critical security controls such as encryption, authentication, and secure software updates quickly and efficiently in their IoT devices.

Earlier this month, the White House brought together federal agencies and number of consumer companies, including Amazon, Google, and Intel, to discuss a cybersecurity labeling program for IoT consumer devices. The program calls for EnergyStar like labeling to educate consumers and give them piece of mind that the IoT devices they purchase have a “baseline” of security.

The topic on Embedded Executives eventually gets around to security, the specialty of BG Networks, but we had an interesting discussion about what’s happening in today’s universities.
