Itemis and Cybellum Collaborate to Improve Product Software Security

Morgan Phisher October 18, 2023

Hey there, fellow Bay Area peeps! I have some pretty cool tech news to share, especially for you folks involved in both the healthcare and cybersecurity sectors. Two mammoth names in the cybersecurity world, itemis and Cybellum, just announced their partnership. Their mission? To create some cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions we focused on the automobile industry. Both of them have brought their skills to the table, forming what can only be described as a powerhouse alliance. This is some goodness our car-makers and suppliers could tap into for improved product security.

The crux of the partnership? Combine itemis’ TARA – basically a super-smart assessment tool for threat analysis and risk evaluation – with Cybellum’s game-changing Product Security Platform. This includes management systems for software bill of materials (SBOM) and vulnerabilities, scrutiny for compliance, and incident response. Sounds like heavy stuff, but in simple words, this combines to form an essential component of Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS), which is made necessary by recent regulations.

The partnership isn’t about one company doing all the heavy lifting while the other sits back with popcorn. Nope. It centers around collaboration, sharing knowledge, aligning visions, and even creating strategies for joint market launches. The result? They’ll be able to offer customers a more strategic, integrated, and custom-made solution to tackle those ever-growing cybersecurity threats.

The joint vision for itemis and Cybellum involves helping companies in the automotive space identify and deal with cyber risks at every product lifecycle stage. Here’s the exciting part:

Improved traceability: They’ll deliver a solution that automates and enhances traceability of threats, risks, and vulnerabilities (the stuff that keeps CEOs awake at night) across the entire product lifecycle.

Better risk assessment: Companies can get a wider view of potential cyber risks, empowering them to make smarter, more informed decisions on risk mitigation.

Compliance with regulations: With game-changing regulations in cybersecurity around, ensuring compliance can be a headache. This solution helps automotive companies achieve that, specifically adhering to regulations like UNECE WP.29 R155.

Jonathan Mohring, from itemis, and Slava Bronfman, from Cybellum, both seem pretty stoked about the partnership, highlighting the multiplicity of benefits their combo solution could provide. Whether it’s tracing threats, managing vulnerabilities, or just supporting companies to meet security standards and regulations, both see huge value in this collaborative initiative.

All right, that’s it from me for today, friends. To keep up with the latest in the buzzing convergence of cybersecurity and healthcare, and to explore the unfolding potential of this itemis and Cybellum alliance, stay tuned! And remember, we’re all in this data-driven, digitally vulnerable world together. The more we know, the safer we – and our digital selves – can stay. Catch you around!
