VicOne and MediaTek provide cybersecurity for the entire v2x communication

VicOne, a leading provider of automotive cybersecurity solutions, is teaming up with chipset manufacturer MediaTek to present its xCarbon intrusion detection and intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS) at CES 2025. The companies are demonstrating advanced telematics capabilities for high-performance and accurate communication and information gathering inside and outside vehicles.

The term telematics encompasses areas such as telecommunications, automotive technology (road traffic monitoring, traffic safety, etc.), electrical engineering (sensors, vehicle instruments, wireless communication, etc.) and computer science (multimedia, internet, etc.). Telematics-enabled security software can maximise the prevention of cyber threats and ensure the security of vehicles while they are in motion.

VicOne’s xCarbon is a modular and configurable lightweight software-based IDS/IPS system that secures automotive telematics for all the above communication operations. Thanks to its powerful features, xCarbon effectively detects malicious system activity, network threats and controller area network (CAN) anomalies – with minimal use of the central processing unit (CPU) and memory.

At CES 2025, MediaTek and VicOne will demonstrate how their solutions work together to successfully fend off a range of cyber threats:

• Malicious web accesses that could steal sensitive information
• Execution of unknown applications that can lead to data breaches, unauthorised access and reduced system performance

‘Fast, reliable and effective data and voice transmission in the age of software-defined vehicles requires a high degree of reliable computing power to respond to changing conditions and developments. MediaTek is very well positioned to deliver the high-quality products needed for fully connected vehicles and all V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications,’ said Max Cheng, Chief Executive Officer at VicOne. ‘We are pleased to work with MediaTek, a leading global chipset provider, to demonstrate how our AI (artificial intelligence)-based solutions provide telematics applications with state-of-the-art cybersecurity. This enables automotive manufacturers and their suppliers to introduce increasingly advanced services while ensuring cybersecurity, data protection and regulatory compliance.’

With the introduction of more connectivity, artificial intelligence, automated driving systems (ADS) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automobiles worldwide are becoming increasingly complex and vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber attacks in this area are increasing in frequency and severity or complexity, with the supply chain of automobile manufacturers becoming a prime target for criminals.

VicOne, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for the automotive industry, is focused on driving innovation in automotive cybersecurity. The company offers the most advanced and comprehensive solutions for the automotive industry, combining the collective expertise of a variety of renowned partners. OEMs and suppliers rely on VicOne’s specially developed security solutions to stay one step ahead of evolving cyber threats and protect vehicles, drivers and sensitive data.

Meet VicOne and its numerous partners at CES 2025, taking place in Las Vegas from 7-10 January.
