Argus Cyber Security Ltd. announced they will partner with Check Point Software Technologies to dramatically reduce threats and risks for connected cars. By bringing together Argus' innovative in-vehicle intrusion detection and prevention capabilities and Check Point's unmatched expertise in providing secure connectivity solutions they can now provide a joint offering that answers current and future cyber security needs of the automotive industry. Argus' Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) for in-vehicle cyber security, integrated with Check Point's Capsule secure connectivity solution, is designed to reduce cyber-attacks against connected cars, a practice commonly known as car-hacking.

Threats of car-hacking are a growing concern for connected cars. Whether or not the attacks on cars are successful depends on each car manufacturer (OEM) and its Tier-1 suppliers' security implementations. Carmakers implementing the integrated solution will benefit from real-time detection, alerting and prevention of cyber-attacks, based on the analysis of both in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle communication.
