TAIPEI, Taiwan —VicOne announced it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Primax (TWSE:4915) to work together on enhancing the cybersecurity protection of Primax’s QCS6490-based IoT gateway platform. Primax is a global leader in vision, audio, and interface technologies. The company is targeting fleet and industrial IoT applications in intelligent transportation. Through the partnership, VicOne will provide VicOne xZETA security scanning and SBOM (software bill of materials) management tools to support Primax products in complying with ISO/SAE 21434.
Primax’s QCS6490 reference platform can support multiple wired or wireless sensors. It will offer integration with a vehicle’s on-board diagnostics system and 5G or LTE network connectivity. The QCS6490 boasts advanced computing capabilities and a robust feature set. Moreover, this makes it a versatile solution for next-generation edge processing devices, including cameras, gateways, industrial automation equipment (IPC, PLC), and autonomous mobile robotics.
As automotive cyberthreats evolve, continuous monitoring for zero-day vulnerabilities is critical.The QCS6490 platform targets fleet management systems and T-box customers. VicOne xZETA can automatically scan the platform regularly and notify if it is affected, empowering the platform toward compliance with ISO/SAE 21434. At the same time, xZETA utilizes patent-pending VicOne Vulnerability Impact Rating (VVIR) technology. Moreover, this technology allows the integration of external and internal data to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities. It also enables the identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring processes. Primax has the authority to swiftly identify and address high-risk issues, formulate corresponding strategies, and secure the platform. This also enables the company to provide reliable and secure service to its customers.
“The impact of cyberattacks is significant to smart city transportation. Moreover, suppose hackers had taken control of the fleet management operation and remotely disabled the functions of vehicles — this could lead to a traffic crash and endanger the safety of road users,” said Edward Tsai, Vice President of Strategic Partnership at VicOne. “We are pleased to extend Primax’s technical service through this partnership, delivering cybersecurity value to its automotive clients. This also will ensure a safer car ecosystem.”
“Automotive cybersecurity is far from simple. Hackers will attack from all angles, requiring a comprehensive, all-encompassing approach and specialized knowledge. Primax is a global leader in edge computing and vision technologies. The company commits to offering the most advanced technologies to our fleet management and T-box clients,” said Jason Hsu, Vice President of Primax’s Connected Mobility Business Unit. “Cybersecurity is critical to connected cars. We are proud to partner with VicOne, the automotive cybersecurity expert. Moreover, this collaboration aims to help widen our support and bring cyber-protected service to market. We also have collaborated with VicOne and adopted xZETA. As a result, we expect to deliver our customers a safe and secure end-device product.”
