Cognizant Mobility

Automakers and suppliers must also ensure their vehicles and subsystems remain safe from cyberattack, now and in the future. That’s where Cognizant Mobility comes in. Our team of auto and security experts works constantly on solutions designed to ensure the security of vehicles and to protect against threats to electronic subsystems and parts. Based on the experience of our security experts and best practices, Cognizant’s services include the following:

• Penetration Testing: Embedded, cloud and operational technology 
• Vulnerability Scan
• Defense against replay attacks
• Defense against fuzzing
• Defense against message injection
• Defense against sniffing and spoofing

Hardware-Based Security

The importance of hardware-based security increases dramatically due to today’s highly automated driving systems. Automakers who do not protect their control units cryptographically are putting themselves and their customers at risk. At Cognizant, our security experts leverage hardware, the cloud and their skills based on a mastery of the entire cryptography chain.

Cognizant Mobility helps large companies meet the requirements necessary to deploy DevOps successfully. Using tools and best practices developed over time, our DevOps specialists leverage Cognizant Mobility, the cloud and our DevOps dashboard to break down applications into service modules. In this way, the applications can be implemented entirely via a cloud service going forward, making them scalable as well.
