Karamba Security

We are proud to have supported Electreon in achieving compliance with #ISO/SAE 21434, the global standard for automotive cybersecurity risk management across the vehicle lifecycle (https://lnkd.in/diW5984Y). Throughout this process, Karamba Security provided technical leadership in threat modeling, cybersecurity risk assessment (TARA), and the implementation of **secure development processes** aligned with the standard’s requirements. Karamba’s automotive cybersecurity expertise enabled Electreon to:? ?? Establish a structured cybersecurity management system (CSMS), ensuring alignment with both ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155 requirements.? ?? Conduct in-depth asset identification and cyber risk analysis, focusing on the unique attack surfaces introduced by wireless charging infrastructure.? ?? Embed automated runtime integrity checks and hardening mechanisms to proactively mitigate risks identified in the TARA process.? ?? Ensure that cybersecurity controls were validated and verified through rigorous vulnerability analysis and penetration testing, in line with cybersecurity case documentation. In their official compliance announcement, Electreon acknowledged Karamba’s leadership in accelerating this process, allowing for an efficient and smooth certification journey. #ISO21434 #AutomotiveCybersecurity #TARA #CSMS #ThreatModeling #WirelessCharging #EmbeddedSecurity #KarambaSecurity #Electreon?

The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 highlighted the transformative shift in the Indian automotive industry towards connected and electric vehicles, and the advanced digital technologies they rely on. ? In the Nasscom Mobility Tech Pavilion, the need for strong cybersecurity for connected cars was demonstrated, aligning perfectly with our mission which combines seamless integration processes (CI/CD) with addressing the challenges of remaining compliant as cybersecurity standards and requirements evolve. ? This expo demonstrated India's growing influence in shaping future mobility, and it underscored the central role of cybersecurity in ensuring safe and secure transportation systems. Our visit reinforced the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity solutions such as XGuard (https://lnkd.in/e4x4NmWJ) and VCode (https://lnkd.in/e3jeM3fW) in this rapidly evolving sector. With our products, millions of connected vehicles and IoT devices are currently protected from a range of potential cyber attack vectors.

Continuing our mission to enable product manufacturers, OEMs and tier-1 suppliers to meet cybersecurity regulations, without interfering with R&D, we created XGuard Onboard Security software. In our latest blog post, we describe this product, which offers comprehensive cybersecurity controls for the automotive and IoT industries. The platform provides not only essential security features like Secure Boot and UDS authentication, but also the underlying technologies enabling them such as cryptographic functions and Secure Onboard Communication (SecOC), without delaying customer R&D or forcing manufacturers to change legacy architecture in order to meet up-to-date regulations. ? Within a year of launch, two automotive clients have already deployed XGuard Onboard Security in several hundred thousand vehicles. ? By insuring use of industry standards such as MISRA-C and ISO/SAE 21434, XGuard ensures robust protection and compliance. For more information, check out our full blog post:? https://bit.ly/3PWc5Wn

Karamba Security’s XGuard Suite supports use of a remote signing server to protect third-party software components and firmware updates. Allow-list policies are signed during or after the initial software deployment, and private keys are stored securely, ensuring that only authorized software, including updates, can run.

At the Pwn2Own competition in late 2024, numerous zero-day vulnerabilities in IoT products were uncovered, including issues like memory corruption, authentication bypass, and SQL injection. The event highlighted the vulnerability of devices such as NAS devices, surveillance cameras, and smart speakers to various attack vectors. These findings underscore the critical need for regular security updates and best practices to protect sensitive data. Karamba Security's solutions offer proactive protection against many of these threats. Read more on our blog! https://bit.ly/4fXVkEM
