Megatronix and Trustonic provide advanced IVI and telematic security for connected vehicles

Trustonic has announced that its security platform has been chosen by Tier 1 automotive service provider, Megatronix, to secure its intelligent operating system, SmartMega OS+, which brings next-generation connected services to smart vehicles. The first vehicle model to integrate SmartMega OS+, the Hycan 007, is now on sale across China. 

With a predicted surge in demand for connected vehicles, automotive makers are under pressure to provide enhanced features to vehicle users, while guaranteeing security, privacy and data protection. Megatronix’s SmartMega OS+ software has been designed to ensure the deployment and regular upgrade of new, customisable in-vehicle services to enable secure, reliable user experiences. SmartMega OS+ provides real time cloud-based features which connect the vehicles to the outside world and protect communications from the Telematic Control Unit (TCU) all the way through to the connected cloud. 

“Connected, autonomous, shared and electrified user cases are driving the automotive market forward and we’re working to empower OEMs and Tier 1s to innovate while protecting data, IP and brands,” said Dion Price, CEO of Trustonic. “Modern vehicles present new and complex challenges and we are delighted to be working with industry visionary, Megatronix, to put security at the heart of millions more connected vehicles.”
