Israeli Car Security Startup Announces Siemens Collaboration

An Israeli car security startup is collaborating with multinational automation giant Siemens on software to protect vehicles. 

C2A Security works with automotive companies throughout the entire development process, ensuring that the carmakers have digital control over every line of code from planning to production, and even after the vehicles have rolled off the factory floor.  

The Jerusalem-based company will connect its EVSec platform with Siemens’ Polarion software, which automates the management of systems engineering projects. This will allow users of Polarion to draw on security data from the EVSec Platform. 

The companies say that this will enable the development of more secure software and comply with current and developing regulations in the field. 

“With stricter regulations around security going into effect, it’s imperative to understand the implications of software and hardware changes on automotive systems,” said Piyush Karkare, Global Director of Automotive Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries. 

“Bringing Polarion together with C2A Security’s EVSec platform addresses this by providing a 30,000 feet view of products, but with the ability to see component-level vulnerabilities, their effect on compliance, and feeding back into the design phase of the product lifecycle,” he said. 

“By connecting Polarion ALM for software development with the EVSec Platform to create a one-stop shop for product security management and automation, customers will have the best set of tools to enable the delivery of secure software, at scale, while helping them adhere to industry regulations and standards,” said C2A Security CEO Roy Fridman.
