Business Challenge

Running in Circles for Vulnerability Management
Askey's 5G C-V2X OBU and RSU system plays a crucial role in realizing theconnected car future, serving as the central communication hub and safeguarding
vehicle telematics and user identity. However, cybersecurity threats posesignificant risks, including remote vehicle manipulation and data breaches. YC
Chang, Senior Director at Askey’s Automotive Product Unit, highlights challenges
in meeting automotive security standards, necessitating adoption of ISO/SAE
21434 for vulnerability management. Previously, reliance on third-party
consultants for vulnerability scanning led to time-consuming communication
loops and inefficiencies, hindering timely issue resolution and productdevelopment. Addressing these challenges is crucial for maintaining market
competitiveness and team morale amid pressing timelines.
Our Solution With AWS

Fueling Effective Development Through Effective
Vulnerability Monitoring
To support Askey to growth, VicOne’s automotive vulnerability and software billof materials (SBOM) management system, xZETA, has it covered. xZETA is a SaaS
platform built on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, which supports highstability infrastructure and operation, so it enables Askey to easily upload
firmware and handle tasks such as generating SBOMs and conducting extensive
vulnerability scans automatically. xZETA facilitates automated scans and notifies
of vulnerabilities, upholding a commitment to continuous monitoring.
Moreover, considering xZETA stores numerous customer vulnerability records. To
address this concern, xZETA relies on AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)
and AWS Secrets Manager to protect system credentials. This includes regularly
updating sensitive information like private keys or API keys, implementing robustaccess control, and encryption measures to minimize the risk of unauthorizedaccess. In the unfortunate event of an inadvertent data leak, AWS's encryption
adds an extra layer of complexity, making it challenging for unauthorized parties
to decrypt the exposed information.
