UltraSoC-led consortium secures £2m Innovate UK funding to develop cybersecurity solutions for connected and autonomous vehicles

juillet 2019 par Marc Jacob

UltraSoC announced that it has secured £2m ($2.51m) in support from Innovate UK (the innovation agency of the UK Government), for an ambitious co-funded project that will improve the safety and security of tomorrow’s connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). The project, a collaboration between UltraSoC, the Universities of Southampton and Coventry, and cybersecurity specialist consultancy Copper Horse, aims to improve the security and safety of citizens and infrastructure by developing the world’s first on-chip monitoring solution for CAVs.

The project is based on UltraSoC’s unique embedded analytics technology, which allows technology companies to design self-monitoring capabilities into the microchips that power their products. Machine Learning (ML) experts from the University of Southampton will work alongside UltraSoC engineers to develop algorithms and code to intelligently identify security and safety issues, while the Institute of Future Transport at Coventry University will develop a testbed demonstrator representing a full-scale automotive functional architecture to prove the resulting solutions. Finally, Copper Horse will model cybersecurity scenarios and test the robustness of the project’s output.

UltraSoC’s embedded analytics deploy dedicated hardware to identify security problems such as hacking far more quickly and reliably than traditional software techniques. The complexity of connected and autonomous automotive systems and their critical safety implications create a compelling need for such capabilities.

Innovate UK is part of UK Research and Innovation, a non-departmental public body funded by a grant-in-aid from the UK government. With a strong business focus, its aim is to drive productivity and economic growth by fostering new ideas and innovations. Since 2007, it has invested around £2.5bn to help businesses across the UK to innovate, with match funding from industrial partners taking the total value of projects to over £4.3bn.
