thyssenkrupp and Bose Join the Auto-ISAC
Advancing Cybersecurity of the Connected Vehicle across the Industry
Washington, DC – February 22, 2023 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes thyssenkrupp and Bose Corporation as new members.
Thyssenkrupp is one of the leading steering suppliers in the automotive industry, and Bose Corporation is a global leader in premium audio products. The Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers in 2015 to establish a global information-sharing community to promote vehicle cybersecurity.
“Thyssenkrupp and Bose are both recognized for their quality products, leadership and innovations, and both companies grew from a foundation of strong research and development with world-class engineering,” said Josh Davis, Chair, Auto-ISAC, and Chief Cybersecurity Officer at Toyota North America. “Bose and thyssenkrupp will be valuable members sharing their expertise.”
Bose created the world’s first factory-installed premium automotive sound systems in the early 1980s. Unlike conventional or aftermarket automotive systems, Bose systems were designed and tuned for a specific automotive vehicle — and changed the industry. Since then, Bose has developed proprietary speaker designs, advanced amplification and signal processing technologies, exclusive analysis and design tools, and technology for controlling the sound environment inside vehicles, all based on a heritage of research and engineering.
Thyssenkrupp's steering business in Hungary is part of thyssenkrupp's global automotive business. The steering subsidiary in Hungary grew from research and development competence and now is a world-class supplier of highly sophisticated technologies that provides a range of automotive benefits. The steering systems developed and produced in Hungary are used in over 100 countries around the world. thyssenkrupp Steering is one of the world's leading suppliers of electric powered steering systems.
The Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub to share and analyze intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks. Its secure intelligence sharing portal allows members to anonymously submit and receive information that helps them more effectively respond to cyber threats.
Thyssenkrupp is one of the first European companies to join the Auto-ISAC since the cybersecurity group announced its formal collaboration in October 2022 with the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) and the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA). Working together, these groups intend to create the leading automotive information-sharing entity in Europe dedicated to the mission of increasing the cybersecurity resilience of the automotive industry.
“The physical presence of an Auto-ISAC Office within Europe is indispensable for our collective cybersecurity defence,” said Dr. Martin Emele, European Regional Director, Auto-ISAC. “The automotive sector is an early industry leader in cybersecurity, and our priority is to continue moving forward, engaging with those in the industry, policymakers and stakeholders.”
The Auto-ISAC has global representation. Its members represent more than 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North America. Members also include heavy-duty vehicles, commercial fleets, carriers and suppliers. For more information, please visit www.automotiveisac.com and follow us @autoisac.

Auto-ISAC Partners with Irdeto to Evaluate a Groundbreaking Vehicle Security Model
Advancing Cybersecurity of the Connected Vehicle across the Industry
Washington, DC – April 12, 2022 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes a new strategic partner, Irdeto, a world leader in digital platform cybersecurity.
Through the partnership, Irdeto will work closely with Auto-ISAC members to quantitatively evaluate a vehicle security model for effectiveness and improvements without sharing any details of their specific architectures. This model has been developed in collaboration with Irdeto’s research partner, Queen’s University and it defines a quantitative methodology to analyze a system architecture for cyber reliability, allowing for comparison of two or more systems over time or in support of cybersecurity goals.
With this partnership in place, Auto-ISAC members will be able to provide feedback to Irdeto regarding the usability and usefulness of the security modeling tool, which compares the benefits of addressing specific threats or making electrical/electronic architecture changes from a reliability engineering perspective.
The Auto-ISAC was formed in 2015 by automakers to promote collaboration between suppliers, commercial vehicle companies and automobile manufacturers around vehicle cybersecurity issues. It operates as a central hub to share and analyze intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks.
“Irdeto becoming a strategic partner will provide Auto-ISAC’s members with an additional tool in securing the connected vehicle and their embedded components,” said Faye Francy, Executive Director of the Auto-ISAC. “The strategic partnership will allow members to provide feedback to improve the automotive application.”
Irdeto’s products meet the rapidly changing mobility demands and exceed cybersecurity regulations for automotive, rail, and beyond. The company provides solutions throughout the product lifecycle to prevent cyberattacks and help protect assets for connected cars, commercial fleet, rail, and construction equipment.
“We are excited about this partnership with Auto-ISAC and I’m confident it will provide Auto ISAC's members a great insight into the cyber reliability of their systems and will help us to develop our prototype even further,” said Niels Haverkorn, SVP and General Manager of Connected Transport at Irdeto.

Autonomous Vehicle Leader Nuro Joins the Auto-ISAC
Washington, DC – March 15, 2022 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes leading autonomous vehicle company Nuro as its newest member.
Founded in 2016 by Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson, Nuro develops zero-occupant electric autonomous delivery vehicles designed specifically for transporting goods and not passengers. The company has introduced delivery services with industry leaders including Domino’s, Kroger, and 7-Eleven. Nuro became the first company to be granted approval for a self-driving vehicle exemption by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the first company to receive a deployment permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), enabling the launch of the first commercial autonomous vehicle service in the state.
The Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers in August 2015 to establish a global information sharing community to promote vehicle cybersecurity.
“The addition of Nuro underscores how the connected vehicle ecosystem continues to expand as does the need to share essential information between the growing number of participants within the connected vehicle industry. Auto-ISAC will continue to support vehicle cybersecurity by adding to its membership innovative members like Nuro,” said Josh Davis, Chair, Auto-ISAC and Chief Cybersecurity Officer at Toyota Motor North America.
“The Auto-ISAC is leading the way in ensuring intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks to vehicles is shared globally, and we are thrilled to join this community,” said Jiajun Zhu, Nuro co-founder and CEO. “At Nuro, we take great care in developing a secure vehicle platform and teleoperation system for our autonomous vehicles that protects our intellectual property, partner data and private end user data. Safety is our top priority at Nuro, and we look forward to continuing to build a more secure future for the autonomous vehicle ecosystem.”
The Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub to share and analyze intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks. Its secure intelligence sharing portal allows members to anonymously submit and receive information that helps them more effectively respond to cyber threats.
