DETROIT & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 9, 2025--
VicOne, an automotive cybersecurity solutions leader, today announced a collaboration with Microsoft to enable developers of vehicle software to proactively secure firmware and ensure end-to-end protection across the automotive software lifecycle. Manufacturers of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) benefit from differentiated automotive threat intelligence, streamlined and secure code development, enhanced continuous integration (CI) and automated security analysis. This collaboration enables an innovative developer, security and operations (DevSecOps) workflow.

“The DevSecOps workflow enabled by our collaboration with Microsoft offers unprecedented benefits to software developers and automotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) alike,” said Max Cheng, CEO of VicOne. “Developers realize a more efficient and effective path for rolling out innovative software solutions of proven security, while automakers are enabled to perform self-assessment not only of their own software but also for solutions from providers across their complex supply chains. The end-to-end protection enabled by this collaboration stands to transform the automotive software lifecycle and marketplace.”
VicOne xZETA now can integrate through GitHub
With this collaboration, automotive software developers access a seamless and powerful workflow for securing their software, using GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps for source code analysis, VicOne xZETA for binary analysis and the patent-pending VicOne Vulnerability Impact Ratings (VVIRs). It is foreseeable that the end product would run on Microsoft Azure infrastructure:
VicOne xZETA is already available as a part of development within GitHub.
“By addressing vulnerabilities at both source and binary levels, our collaboration with VicOne sets a new standard for secure automotive software innovation,” said Dayan Rodriquez, Corporate Vice President, Manufacturing & Mobility, Microsoft. “In bringing to bear strong and unique automotive threat intelligence, this collaboration of our companies’ diverse security expertise creates a more efficient, effective and seamless workflow that enables the faster development of innovative automotive technologies while simultaneously improving vehicle safety and security.”
With AI-powered static analysis, secret scanning, and software composition analysis, GitHub Advanced Security helps developer and security teams work together to accelerate the delivery of more secure software without sacrificing productivity.
xZETA’s unique VicOne Vulnerability Impact Ratings (VVIRs) integrate external and internal insights to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities, enabling swift identification of high-risk issues and execution of countermeasures. The complete information feeds back into Threat and Risk Assessment (TARA) results, aligning with ISO 21434, “Road vehicles — Cybersecurity engineering,” and fueling continuous monitoring.
In contrast to vulnerability management platforms that only address known open-source vulnerabilities, xZETA offers superior visibility into zero-day, undisclosed and known vulnerabilities, as well as Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE), advanced persistent threats (APTs) and ransomware. VicOne’s xZETA threat intelligence surpasses the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) by more than 189 percent, providing a wider spectrum of detection coverage.

Firefighters battled early Thursday to control a series of major fires in the Los Angeles area that have killed five people, ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena and sent thousands of people frantically fleeing their homes.
Ferocious winds that drove the flames and led to chaotic evacuations have calmed somewhat and were not expected to be as powerful during the day. That could allow firefighters to make progress reining in blazes that have hopscotched across the sprawling region, including massive ones in Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
Here's the latest:
Aaron Samson, 48, was in Pacific Palisades at his father-in-law’s home caring for him when the time came to flee Tuesday. They had no car, however, and were unable to secure a ride through Uber or by calling 911. Samson flagged down a neighbor, who agreed to give them and their two bags a lift.
After a little more than half an hour in traffic, the flames closed in. The tops of palm trees burned like giant sparklers in the incessant wind.
With vehicles at a standstill, police ordered people to get out and flee on foot. Samson and his father-in-law left their bags and made their way to the sidewalk. The father-in-law, who is recovering from a medical procedure, steadied himself against a utility pole as Samson retrieved his walker and recorded the ordeal on his cellphone.
“We got it, Dad, we got it,” Samson said.
They walked for about 15 minutes before another good Samaritan saw them struggling, stopped and told them to get in his vehicle.
By Wednesday afternoon, Samson did not know if the home survived. But he said they were indebted to the two strangers.
“They saved us,” he said. “They really stepped up.”

President Joe Biden will gather senior White House and administration officials for the briefing after he returns from delivering the eulogy at the state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter.
He was briefed earlier Thursday on the latest updates of the wildfires across Los Angeles.
Many communities, including several in California, have warning alert systems that allow residents to sign up for push notifications to their mobile phones or email accounts.
FEMA has a downloadable app that provides real-time alerts on mobile phones, and public safety agencies can also push alerts to television, radio and wireless devices through the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System. The NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is a nationwide network of radio stations that broadcast continuous weather information as well as official Weather Service warnings, forecasts and other hazard information.
A battery- or crank-operated portable radio can also be a critical tool for receiving emergency alerts, especially in areas where cellular service is unreliable or when regional cellular towers might be threatened by wind, fire or other hazards.
The latest flames broke out Wednesday evening in the Hollywood Hills, striking closer to the heart of the city and the roots of its entertainment industry and putting densely populated neighborhoods on edge during exceptionally windy and dry conditions.
Within a few hours, firefighters had made major progress on the Sunset Fire in the hills. Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott said they were able to keep the fire in check because “we hit it hard and fast and mother nature was a little nicer to us today than she was yesterday.”
The dramatic level of destruction in some places was apparent in a comparison of satellite images before and after the fire.
A swath of about 250 homes in an Altadena neighborhood dotted with the green canopies of leafy trees and aquamarine swimming pools was reduced to rubble. Only a few homes were left standing and some were still in flames in the images by Maxar Technologies.
Along a stretch of about 70 wall-to-wall homes overhanging the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, fewer than 10 appeared to be intact.
