Chairman Dr. Ming-J Chien and General Manager Mr. Leo Chien of FICG announced today that to enhance and optimize the automotive electronics vertical business supply chain, FIC initiated a strategic partnership with Israeli automotive cybersecurity brand Cybellum in early 2021. The collaboration aims to promote automotive cybersecurity solutions across the Indo-Pacific region and Taiwan.
At the 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan exhibition held at Nangang Exhibition Center today, FIC debuted its integrated applications within the advanced vehicle control program led by ARTC (Automotive Research & Testing Center). The solutions address WP.29 and ISO 21434 automotive cybersecurity regulations.
In recent years, as global automotive development shifts toward smart vehicles and V2X connectivity matures, the risks of cyberattacks on in-vehicle systems have become increasingly critical. Errors or oversights in chip and system design processes can lead to system failures, data leaks, or even hacking attacks, jeopardizing driving safety. Since 2022, both Europe and Japan have mandated that new connected vehicle devices comply with WP.29 R155/156 standards, shaping the global automotive electronics industry through regulatory requirements.
FIC and Cybellum’s collaboration has successfully served multiple automakers, providing AIoT vehicle cybersecurity system monitoring and testing. The Cybellum platform offers vulnerability detection capabilities using U.S. and Japanese weakness databases, CWE (Zero-Days) detection, and comprehensive Security Coding compliance checks. Recognized by global automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, and vehicle testing centers, it ensures compliance across the design, development, and operational stages of products. General Manager Mr. Leo Chien stated: “FIC’s integration of Cybellum’s vulnerability scanning system into ARTC’s project aims to provide ISO 21434 compliance testing for controllers’ hardware and systems. We hope to expedite its application in domestic electric buses, U.S. electric buses, and maintenance engineering vehicles, enabling enhanced cybersecurity protection and optimization. This will accelerate the alignment of Taiwan’s automotive supply chain with international cybersecurity standards.”
