dSPACE has integrated its HydraVision cybersecurity platform into its Veos and Scalexio environments. This development allows security testing to occur within software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop validation processes.
The integration supports security testing for both virtual and real electronic control units. It also facilitates continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows for software development teams.
The players
dSPACE
The company is a provider of simulation and validation solutions for the development of connected, autonomous, and electrically powered vehicles.
Dissecto
This is a cybersecurity brand owned by dSPACE that focuses on testing solutions for automotive systems.
The details
Security specialists create and maintain reusable test cases within HydraVision that development teams can then execute across their validation environments. Virtual ECUs are automatically tested for potential security risks during the software-in-the-loop process.
Timeline
October 12, 2026: dSPACE officially announced the HydraVision integration.
The Tech Race
This integration follows the safety and security compliance requirements established by ISO/SAE 21434. It marks a push toward automating security verification to align with the evolving global regulatory landscape for vehicle software.
Automotive software teams can now streamline their testing workflows, potentially reducing the time spent on manual security checks. This shift helps developers identify vulnerabilities earlier, leading to more secure software for future vehicle control units.
The takeaway
Automated security testing is becoming a critical component of the modern automotive development lifecycle. Teams that implement reusable, integrated test cases can better navigate the complex regulatory requirements governing vehicle cybersecurity.
