PlaxidityX says it has collaborated with a Hitachi Group firm, GlobalLogic, to enhance the development environment for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
The companies say the alliance is set to develop a coherent cloud framework that will assist original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers in expediting the development process, minimising engineering expenses, and maintaining high security standards for vehicle software.

It involves the integration of the PlaxidityX DevSecOps platform with the SDV Cloud Framework of GlobalLogic, which is an infrastructure management solution.
GlobalLogic noted that its framework simplifies the deployment of software development resources for SDV projects. It facilitates a cloud-based engineering environment that provides access to on-premise real hardware.
With the integration of DevOps practices, the framework aims to cut development cycles, automate testing while ensuring continuous software updates, thereby expediting the time to market for SDVs.
The DevSecOps platform is designed to automate the inclusion of security practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
It features tools that automate the threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) process, perform code analysis, automate security testing, vulnerability scanning, and scan code from third-party software suppliers.
By continuously integrating security checks into the development pipeline, developers can detect and address vulnerabilities early on, preventing the elevated costs associated with it in production software.
GlobalLogic Automotive & Industrial Business Group vice president and general manager Ramki Krishna said: “By integrating DevSecOps capabilities from PlaxidityX into every layer of our SDV Cloud Framework, we’re not only fortifying security and adhering to automotive security regulations – we’re also accelerating development timelines and reducing costs.
“It’s about building trust, reliability, and adaptability from the ground up, ensuring our software-defined vehicles stay ahead of the security curve in a rapidly evolving automotive ecosystem.”
Earlier this year, Vodafone Automotive, a provider of in-car telematics and vehicle safety services, collaborated with PlaxidityX to bolster vehicle security with AI-powered protection.
