“OEM customers are expanding into digital and mobility to provide value-added services to consumers through connectivity and mobile applications,” said Asaf Atzmon, vice president and general manager, Automotive Cybersecurity, HARMAN. “We provide comprehensive visibility, analytics and risk management capabilities to cyber threats through HARMAN Shield. Regulus’ Pyramid GNSS solution complements HARMAN Shield by providing an additional layer of protection to protect GPS from attacks.”

The company said Regulus Pyramid GNSS is the industry's first standalone software solution that protects GPS receivers or chipsets without any additional hardware. The software solution uses machine learning to detect spoofing and prevents any GNSS receiver, device or chipset from being attacked. GPS spoofing is a remote attack that enables hackers to control targets using satellite navigation and affect critical functions such as time synchronization, speed control, steering, navigation, location and privacy by delivering false PNT (position, navigation and time) information. Pyramid GNSS uses a combination of proprietary algorithms and has been subjected to years of spoofing experiments to effectively defend against attacks at the firmware, operating system or application level.
