Washington, DC – March 19, 2024 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes Dana Incorporated as a new member, along with Dellfer as a new strategic partner. Dana is a designer and manufacturer of highly efficient propulsion and energy-management solutions that power vehicles and machines in all mobility markets across the globe. This membership allows Dana to collaborate with other member companies and share information and best practices related to cybersecurity.
“The Auto-ISAC is global and covers diverse parts of the automotive sector. We welcome companies like Dana that prioritize innovation and see the value of collaboration. Our community is active, sharing knowledge and approaches that help us enhance vehicle cybersecurity. Moreover, Dana will add their important perspectives,” said Kevin Tierney, Chair, Auto-ISAC, and Chief Cybersecurity Officer at General Motors.
Dana is shaping sustainable progress through its conventional and clean-energy solutions. These support nearly every vehicle manufacturer with drive and motion systems, electrodynamic technologies, including software and controls, along with thermal, sealing, and digital solutions.
“At Dana we take product cybersecurity very seriously and strive to improve our product cybersecurity posture. Auto-ISAC is a great platform for the automotive cybersecurity community to come together and share cybersecurity intelligence and best practices. I believe this will benefit Dana as a Tier 1 supplier, as well as the mobility industry,” said Dr. Di Jin, Dana’s Global Head of Product Cybersecurity.
The Auto-ISAC announces that Dellfer is joining its Strategic Partner Program. Furthermore, this program was established for companies that sell connected vehicle cybersecurity products and services.
Dellfer takes a unique approach to protecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These devices are used in auto components, such as electronics, actuators, and sensors used to gather information and inform decisions and actions.
Dellfer provides software development tools which can automatically examine source or assembly code to discover poor programming, extraneous code, Common Weakness Enumerations (“CWEs”) and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (“CVEs”) in code. Moreover, Dellfer’s toolkit enables an organization to find those flaws and rapidly eliminate them.
James Blaisdell, CEO of Dellfer stated: “The Dellfer team is committed to advancing the cybersecurity landscape for connected vehicles. We are eager to collaborate with Auto-ISAC members. Moreover, our goal is to enhance the security of vital open-source software components used within the industry. Our focus is on ensuring the highest standards of cyber safety and resilience. Being part of this initiative allows us to contribute significantly to protecting automakers from evolving cyber threats. We are proud to support this mission and look forward to making a substantial impact together.”
Dellfer intends to work with the Auto-ISAC as a strategic partner. They aim to identify commonly used open-source software and use their tools to eliminate errors and weaknesses. Moreover, this clean version of the software will be provided exclusively to members of the Auto-ISAC. Dellfer will also provide two supporting workshops for members.
“Strategic partnerships are integral to the vitality of our Auto-ISAC community, enriching our collective strength through collaborative efforts,” remarked Faye Francy, Executive Director of the Auto-ISAC. “Dellfer’s commitment to enhancing cybersecurity through innovative approaches aligns seamlessly with our mission. By leveraging their expertise and tailored solutions, our members gain invaluable resources, fortifying our industry against emerging threats.”
Automakers formed the Auto-ISAC in August 2015 to establish a global information-sharing community for addressing vehicle cybersecurity. It operates as a central hub for sharing, tracking, and analyzing intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks. Moreover, its secure intelligence-sharing portal allows members to anonymously submit and receive information that helps them more effectively respond to cyber threats.
Auto-ISAC plans to host its 2024 Europe Cybersecurity Summit on June 11-13, 2024, at BMW’s venue in Munich, Germany. To register or become a sponsor of the Summit, please visit 2024 Europe Cybersecurity Summit.
Auto-ISAC members represent more than 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North America. Members also include heavy-duty vehicles, commercial fleets, carriers, and suppliers.
