The joint solution will be on display 9-12 January during CES 2018 at the AGL Showcase located in CES Tech West in The Venetian. It will also be showcased at the Genivi CES 2018 Networking Reception in the Bellagio Hotel on 9 January.
Argus Connectivity Protection prevents malware installation, detects operating system anomalies, isolates suspicious activity and stops attacks from spreading to the in-vehicle network.
Argus Lifespan Protection enables automakers and fleet managers to continuously monitor the cyber health of their vehicles in the cloud, provides big data analytics to identify patterns and emerging attacks and future-proofs vehicles through over-the-air security updates.
By combining the two companies' technologies, the integrated solution will enable automakers to embed crucial cyber security measures without impacting production cycles or increasing project risk.
"We're excited to integrate our cyber security solutions on Renesas R-Car H3, as it forms a key component in driving forward connected and autonomous vehicles and marks another milestone on our mission to protect all vehicles on the road from cyber-attacks," said Argus Cyber Security CMO, Yoni Heilbronn.
"With vehicles becoming increasingly connected and the age of autonomous vehicles rapidly approaching, it is crucial all stakeholders in the automotive supply chain prioritise cyber security and provide automakers with the ability to protect connected vehicles against cyber-attacks throughout their lifespan, regardless of the attack vector."
For his part Renesas Electronics Automotive Information Solution Business Division VP, Yoshiyuki Matsumoto added: "The integration of Argus' cyber security solutions into the Renesas R-Car H3 SoC ensures automated platforms are secure by design and remain protected from dynamic cyber-attacks while they're on the road.
"Cyber security is imperative if we are to realise the huge benefits of advanced driving systems and this partnership will play a major role in achieving that goal."
