training to meet the cybersecurity challenges of software-defined
vehicles
- Automated, open-source platform is pre-programmed, supports
standard testing scenarios, and is fully customizable
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) is teaming with the
SHIELD Automotive Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence at the
University of Windsor to provide automotive engineering students
with advanced cybersecurity training with the Keysight SA8710A
Automotive Cybersecurity Penetration Test Platform. The SHIELD
program is dedicated to advancing and developing automotive
cybersecurity solutions by training engineering and computer
science students to ensure tomorrow’s vehicles are safe and
secure.
With drivers expecting their automobiles to be fully integrated
into their digital lifestyles, the nature of vehicles is becoming
more software-centric. Known as software-defined vehicles (SDV),
these autos deliver new connectivity, personalization, and
automation features through highly complex software operating
systems. While SDVs promise increased safety and convenience, their
hyper-connected systems make them vulnerable to cybersecurity
threats.
To help build student skills in vehicle-based cybersecurity,
Keysight worked with SHEILD to define an affordable automotive
cybersecurity platform for research and education. As an automated
testing platform supporting industry standards, the SA8710A
Automotive Cybersecurity Penetration Test Platform prepares
students to meet future cybersecurity challenges with
state-of-the-art testing tools.
Keysight’s automotive cybersecurity test platform provides
students with:
- Automated testing – Supports a variety of security
audits to maximize efficiency, covering attack surfaces such as
Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, CAN (controller area network) and
automotive Ethernet.
- Quick spin-up – Comes pre-programmed for immediate
use.
- Open-source environment – Keysight’s PathWave Test
Automation is open-source, enabling students to add new
capabilities.
- Cybersecurity assessments – Running on Linux, the
Keysight IoT Security Assessments platform enables students to
learn with predefined audits and add open-source and custom
security audits.
SHIELD provides students with:
- Education and training – Custom training of high-quality
personnel (HQP) with experiential learning opportunities as well as
opportunities for workforce retraining to create an industry-ready
talent pipeline in Canada.
- Knowledge transfer – A reference library of information
and engagements that raises awareness for the need for mobility
cybersecurity.
- Research and innovation – Institutional and industrial
collaboration to create ready-made solutions that meet rapidly
changing technology and threats.
Keysight leads the industry in providing innovative engineering
learning solutions to the education industry, advancing teaching
with hardware and software tools that transform academic teaching
labs. As part of the local and global community, Keysight is
committed to STEM education by supporting programs that encourage
students from all backgrounds to pursue careers in science and
engineering, including the SHIELD Automotive Cybersecurity Centre
of Excellence at the University of Windsor. Keysight also sponsors
the Automotive Security Research Group, a non-profit organization
that supports the development of security solutions for automakers,
researchers, and students. To date, the company has partnered with
more than 30 universities worldwide to provide industry-ready
certification with more than a thousand students receiving
certification.
Dr. Mitra Mirhassani, Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering, University of Windsor and Co-Director of SHIELD
Automotive Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence, said: “SHIELD is
Canada’s first organization dedicated to countering threats to the
connected transportation marketplace. We are excited to embark on
this partnership with Keysight that provides students with
real-life experience. This allows us to compete at the global level
and to provide support and services for Ontario.”
Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of
Keysight's Automotive and Energy Solutions, said: “Keysight is
dedicated to giving engineering students the skills and knowledge
they need to make an immediate impact when they join the workforce.
Thanks to a close working relationship with the SHIELD Automotive
Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence, we have been able to build a
cutting-edge platform providing students the real-life experience
they need to mitigate the tough cybersecurity challenges of modern
vehicles.”
