Ficosa, through Onboard Ventures, its Open Innovation initiative, identified Karamba's Carwall as an effective hardening software that is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle electronic control units (ECU's), without disrupting the development process or delay the vehicle's time to market.

By GlobalDataThe software prevents in-memory cyberattacks, by hardening the ECUs according to developers' intentions and autonomously prevents unauthorised deviations from factory settings. It introduces Control Flow Integrity (CFI) which is automatically embedded in Ficosa's development process, not relying on source code, with negligible runtime performance impact.
Having secure, hardened ECUs is a major differentiator, offering out of the box, automatically secured, ECU's. Ficosa will now offer self-protected ECUs to its OEM customers that will deterministically prevent cyberattacks, without false positive alerts or major investments in costly data analytics and security updates.
"We are happy to offer hardened ECUs to our customers to prevent cyberattacks that target our products. As a manufacturer, we were impressed with Karamba's prevention solution, negligible overheads and seamless integration required," said Edouard Rozan, managing director at Onboard Ventures.
