Penetration testing activities: The Cyberbox tool

IDIADA has internally developed a validation system that enables testing of the security of a vehicle's connectivity vectors.

The Cyberbox tool is designed to guarantee that any test is conducted automatically following the same process, enabling the repeatability of the test under the same conditions to ensure the validity of the obtained result.

This repeatability guarantees that the test results can be used as evidence of validation activities under UN R155, and can also be used to compare performance between different vehicles or configurations.

The tests can be conducted to validate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, TPMS, USB, GPS, OBD, and CAN security at the vehicle level. IDIADA is constantly updating and upgrading the test capabilities, including secure EV charging process testing.
