BENGALURU: Design and technology services firm Tata Elxsi and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) The joint development of a cybersecurity solution for the automotive industry was announced on Thursday.
The joint development will use industry-recognized artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) skills and where the company is going software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and electric vehicle solutions, coupled with the power of cutting-edge research at IISc.
The partnership aims to address the cybersecurity challenges posed by complex networks of sensors in vehicles and numerous advances in software that shape the modern driving experience.
“Advances in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity have opened up more opportunities for theft, remote control, tampering and stealing of personal information. Meanwhile, IISc researchers are separately focusing on developing vehicle technologies and network security, smart grids and other critical systems,” IISc said.
This collaboration will also focus on security and threat detection in connected automotive vehicles, using AI and ML-based intrusion detection. The partnership will also work to prevent and detect potential security threats and anomalies with preventative insights about future and potentially more advanced threats in the system.
Tata Elxsi CEO and MD Manoj Raghavan said, “Tata Elxsi recognizes that the future of the automotive industry depends on safe vehicles and trust. In the connected vehicle space, we have made substantial investments to enhance our autonomous vehicle solution packages through our ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistant System) program, SDV architecture and the like.”
As vehicles increasingly rely on digital technologies, ensuring cybersecurity is of utmost importance, Raghavan said, adding that IISc’s partnership focused on cybersecurity solutions and products will enable building safer, more resilient vehicles.
“In today’s digital and interconnected world, cybersecurity threats are growing in step with technological advancements. At IISc, we are always interested in academia-industry partnerships that can help address such challenges,” said IISc Director Prof G Rangarajan.
Prof Rajesh Sundaresan, dean of the Department of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences (EECS), IISc, said a modern car easily has more than 3,000 chips that detect and control the functioning of the car.
“…The design complexity associated with enabling secure networking in vehicles is enormous. This partnership brings together IISc’s strengths in cyber-physical system security with Elxsi’s strengths in design and technology to enable safe, secure and connected mobility.”
He highlighted the CSR grant that Tata Elxsi provided earlier for setting up an AI lab at IISc that has dramatically helped students of the Institute’s MTech (Artificial Intelligence) programme.
