Once attackers gain access, they can pivot across in-vehicle networks to ECUs, where runtime tampering and calibration manipulation can create real operational risk. - GPS / GNSS - Cellular / TCU - OTA Updates - V2X Radio - Wi-Fi / Bluetooth - Keyless Entry - TPMS - OBD-II / USB Ports - Cloud - Sensor Spoofing (LiDAR/Camera) - EV Charging - CENTRAL COMPUTE (DOMAIN CONTROLLER) - ZONAL CONTROLLER // Core Automotive Security Capabilities ## Runtime Defense at the ECU Level ### [ Continuous integrity attestation ](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/runtime-defense/) Detect runtime modifications and integrity drift across critical code and data. ### [ Task + Process Monitoring ](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/runtime-defense/) Identify and block unauthorized runtime behaviors that correlate with exploitation. ### [ Calibration + parameter protection ](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/consulting/) Secure high-value memory regions with policy-based write controls for development and production modes. ### [ Forensics-ready telemetry ](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/consulting/) Real-time security event generation for local logging or centralized analysis. ****** ![](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/symbiote-ui-screenshot-1.png) ****** // Automotive Security Use Cases ## Runtime Defense Outcomes Teams Can Ship - ### Production ECU exploit detection Always-on protection for embedded devices. - ### Calibration Anti-Tamper Protect high-value parameters from unauthorized writes during service or operation. - ### OTA Update Resiliency Reduce exposure between patch cycles with runtime signals. - ### Incident Response Evidence Generate defensible logs for forensics and internal audits. // How Symbiote Works ## High-Performance ECU Protection [Symbiote](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/runtime-defense/) is embedded into the ECU firmware image and activates at defined execution points. It verifies integrity, monitors for exploit-like behavior, and records security events—adapting to system load to preserve real-time timing. [ Checks integrity (boot + runtime) ](#collapse-bc228306abb434ddbbd1) Validates critical code/data regions to detect unauthorized modification. [ Monitors exploit signals ](#collapse-14e48976abb434ddbbd1) Flags abnormal task/process behavior, suspicious memory activity, and unauthorized writes to protected regions. [ Produces outcomes ](#collapse-086bad06abb434ddbbd1) Generates alerts/telemetry and can apply policy actions (e.g., block, isolate, rollback) where supported. - IN-VEHICLE ECUECU FIRMWARE / RTOS![Symbiote](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Symbiote.svg)![AESOP](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Aesop_logo_wordmarkAsset-1.svg) INTEGRITY CHECKS - INTERCEPT POINTS - POLICY ACTIONS ![UNECE R155 emblem](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Untitled-1-1.png) // Automotive Regulatory Compliance ## Supporting UN R155 Security expectations are trending toward runtime monitoring and evidence**, alongside secure development and update practices. [Symbiote](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/runtime-defense/) delivers integrity signals and event timelines for defensible reports and response workflows without requiring constant connectivity. // FAQ ## Common questions from OEM + Tier-1 Teams Do you need source code? ``` No. Symbiote can be applied late in the build flow to final firmware images. Source can accelerate integration, but it’s not required. ``` How do you avoid impacting real-time tasks? ``` Protections run via defined execution points and an adaptive scheduler that backs off under load. Policies can be tuned to meet timing goals. ``` What if the ECU has limited or no connectivity? ``` Logs can be collected locally and extracted at service time. Connectivity helps, but offline workflows are supported. ``` How do you handle legitimate diagnostics vs. abuse? ``` Start with visibility on defined regions/actions, then refine policy by operational state (dev/in-cal/prod). The goal is protection without breaking serviceability. ``` What is the performance impact ``` Symbiote’s runtime defense currently adds only a 1% to 3% performance overhead. ``` ## // NEXT STEPS If you’re balancing compliance timelines, real‑time constraints, and long patch cycles, we’ll show a path from a single ECU integration to a scalable program.
