SEOUL, KOREA, Oct. 17, 2022 — AUTOCRYPT, a world-leading provider of cutting-edge automotive cybersecurity and mobility solutions, draws industry recognition for its inclusive mobility services solution – AutoCrypt EQ – as it was announced as “Ride Hailing Innovation of the Year” at the 2022 AutoTech Breakthrough Awards, held by AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization specializing in the automotive tech industry. In both 2020 and 2021, AUTOCRYPT was AutoTech Breakthrough’s choice for “Automotive Cybersecurity Company of the Year”.

AutoCrypt EQ is a comprehensive mobility service offerings suite dedicated to building inclusive and barrier-free service platforms for partners and clients. By offering a complete package that covers service planning, fleet management integration, UI design and branding, along with application development, AutoCrypt EQ brings a fully managed service to mobility operators who wish to serve those with mobility challenges and accessibility needs.

AUTOCRYPT has thus far developed many popular accessible mobility platforms in Korea—including a barrier-free DRT service, an accessibility mapping app, and a voucher taxi for new parents—through partnerships with local governments, businesses, and hospitals. The latest recognition signifies the success of these projects and progress for global expansion.

Daniel ES Kim, CEO of AUTOCRYPT, commented, “We are overjoyed to be recognized by AutoTech Breakthrough for our tremendous efforts in developing inclusive mobility services. We have always envisioned universal mobility and will continue to invest our resources into making that a reality.” On future plans for AutoCrypt EQ, he added, “We are currently discussing opportunities with NGOs and healthcare providers in North America and Europe to expand AutoCrypt EQ’s global coverage.”

“It isn’t easy to serve such a niche demographic, as it requires a lot of extra planning and development, without being able to charge a premium,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. “AUTOCRYPT has made it both achievable and financially sustainable through its secure fleet management technology. Its needs-focused service and accessibility features truly set them apart and make them our pick for the ‘Ride Hailing Innovation of The Year’ award.”

In June, AutoCrypt EQ was also selected as one of the only two finalists for “Mobility Service Provider of the Year” at the 2022 Informa Tech Automotive Awards, one of the industry’s most prestigious awards. In addition to building mobility service platforms, AUTOCRYPT also prioritizes making roads more inclusive through offering pedestrian safety solutions that enable vulnerable road users (VRU) to join in the V2X ecosystem using their mobile devices, enabling a truly safe autonomous mobility experience through vehicle-infrastructure and vehicle-device cooperation.

SEOUL, KOREA, October 7, 2022 — Automotive cybersecurity and mobility solutions provider AUTOCRYPT announced today that its in-vehicle systems security solution – AutoCrypt IVS – has been named winner of the “Automotive Cybersecurity Solution of the Year” award in the sixth annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes top companies, technologies, and products in the global information security market.

AutoCrypt IVS is an end-to-end solution that protects the embedded systems of automobiles from cybersecurity threats, starting from Threat Assessment and Remediation Analysis (TARA) and vulnerability testing at the development stage, all the way to intrusion detection and prevention throughout the consumption stage. Not only does AUTOCRYPT secure vehicles at all stages of the lifecycle, but also provides real-time monitoring features to ensure that OEMs comply with UNECE WP.29 regulations (UN R155/R156).

“We are incredibly grateful for this recognition from CyberSecurity Breakthrough. As we have always emphasized, modern vehicles are largely defined by software, which makes it crucial to ensure that a vehicle is both free of vulnerabilities prior to production and well protected from cyberattacks during consumption,” said Daniel ES Kim, CEO of AUTOCRYPT. “We understand the difficulties OEMs are facing with growingly sophisticated in-vehicle systems and tightened cybersecurity regulations. Over the past decade, AUTOCRYPT has sought to fill this gap by helping OEMs assess, deploy, and manage the cybersecurity of their in-vehicle systems.”

“In the automotive cybersecurity market, the fewer parties that are involved throughout the vehicle lifecycle, the easier it becomes for the OEM to streamline the cybersecurity process and minimize errors,” said James Johnson, Managing Director of CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “AutoCrypt IVS is the only in-vehicle systems security solution that covers TARA, security testing, and threat mitigation. This meaningful breakthrough is why we chose AutoCrypt IVS for ‘Automotive Cybersecurity Solution of the Year.’”

Besides AutoCrypt IVS, AUTOCRYPT offers a wide range of solutions from V2X security, secure fleet management, Plug&Charge (PnC) security for EVs, and mobility service planning and development.

Leading autonomous vehicle cybersecurity provider AUTOCRYPT announced that it was spotlighted in Forbes Asia’s inaugural 100 to Watch list. The newly announced list highlights notable companies and startups on the rise in the Asia-Pacific region. AUTOCRYPT was featured as the sole cybersecurity provider on the list.

As the number of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) on the road increase, it is becoming more apparent that cybersecurity will be the key to wider, safer adoption of this new technology. AUTOCRYPT’s solutions cover the entire connected car ecosystem by securing not only the vehicle itself, but charge points and networks, fleet management solutions, as well as V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communications. AUTOCRYPT’s security solutions currently cover over 5000 kilometers of smart roadways and highways, and its proprietary technology has provided secure communications for several major manufacturers’ vehicles and charging systems.

 “We are exceptionally pleased to see our inclusion into this inaugural list. We live in an era where autonomous vehicles are making headway in terms of technological development, and as such, security is now more necessary than ever. Legislation is beginning to follow, putting into effect cybersecurity regulations and standards for those in the automotive industry, and demand has skyrocketed,” noted AUTOCRYPT’s CEO and co-Founder, Daniel ES Kim. He continued, “We do our best to meet this demand, but we also take it upon ourselves to inspire and raise up leaders and experts in this industry. We hope that our presence on the Forbes 100 to Watch highlights the work being done to bring cybersecurity of not only vehicles, but of the entire mobility ecosystem to the forefront.”

AUTOCRYPT made headlines earlier this year by raising a total of US$15 million from major investors to expand its offerings globally. The company most recently launched offices in Germany and the United States, opening its doors to collaborative projects with North American and European vehicle OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. By providing security solutions complying with the diverse range of standardizations for vehicles worldwide, AUTOCRYPT allows for convenience and ease when it comes to interoperability.
