Keysight and ETAS Collaborate on Fuzz Testing

Fuzz testing software from ETAS in Germany has been integrated into the Keysight Automotive Cybersecurity Test Platform, marking a significant development in the realm of automotive cybersecurity. The collaboration between ETAS and Keysight brings the ESCRYPT CycurFUZZ smart automotive fuzzer tool into the fold of Keysight's comprehensive cybersecurity solution.

The increasing connectivity of automotive systems has exposed vehicles to cybersecurity threats that necessitate effective mitigation strategies to ensure the safety and security of modern vehicles. Fuzzing, a crucial component of security testing, involves injecting invalid or unexpected inputs into a system to identify and address vulnerabilities.

By incorporating ESCRYPT CycurFUZZ into the Keysight automotive cybersecurity platform, automakers gain the ability to conduct rapid fuzz testing through controller area network (CAN) interfaces. This integration allows for smart software-driven CAN bus fuzzing at both the module and system levels, facilitating automated scanning for unknown vulnerabilities and software weaknesses.

The integration of ESCRYPT CycurFUZZ into the Keysight solution specifically targets the cybersecurity risks associated with the CAN bus, providing a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating potential threats. This enhanced capability contributes to the overall resilience of automotive systems against cyberattacks.

Keysight's automotive cybersecurity software offers a comprehensive testing solution that covers all layers of the open systems intercommunication (OSI) stack for various in-vehicle interfaces, including Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, CAN, and automotive Ethernet. This enables thorough validation of electronic control units (ECUs) and telematic control units (TCUs), ensuring compliance with international cybersecurity standards such as UN R-155 and ISO/SAE 21434.
