EnGIS Technologies announced that it has joined the Uptane project under the Joint Development Foundation. The company has already begun work on integrating the Uptane framework into its EnAIR Over-The-Air (OTA) software management platform. This step further strengthens the company’s comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, which already supports several software update security systems and protocols. Integrating the Uptane framework will enable the company to ensure safe and secure software updates delivered over-the-air to ECUs and systems in vehicles. The framework, now considered the de facto standard in the automotive industry for secure software updates, can fend off cyber-attacks from those aiming to compromise critical servers and networks that are used to sign and deliver software updates. Utilizing the Uptane framework is part of the company’s wider strategy to meet the upcoming WP.29 regulation. In June 2020, the United Nations adopted new regulations aimed at supporting the development of connected and highly-automated vehicles. This is the first time that automotive OEMs will need to meet strict requirements on how they provide secure over-the-air update capability.
