Tokyo, Japan – 20 April 2026 – Intellias, a global partner for AI-enabled product engineering and digital solutions, announces a partnership with VicOne, a leading automotive cybersecurity company. This partnership builds on long-standing relationships between the companies and focuses on strengthening in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) security for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) through the integration of advanced intrusion detection and prevention capabilities.
As vehicles become increasingly software-driven and AI-powered, protecting the IVI stack requires not only advanced threat detection but also seamless integration into OEM-grade platforms. This partnership brings together Intellias’ system integration expertise and its Automotive Technology Platform, IntelliKit, complemented with VicOne’s proven cybersecurity technologies.
As software-defined vehicles continue to expand the attack surface, the challenge is no longer just detection, but how to operationalize security across complex in-vehicle platforms. Our partnership with Intelliasaddresses this gap by integrating VicOne’s threat-intelligence-driven protection into IntelliKit, enabling security to be integrated directly at the platform level. This allows OEMs to deploy security not as an add-on, but as a core capability embedded into the IVI architecture.
At the core of the collaboration is the integration of VicOne’s xCarbon Intrusion Detection or Prevention System (IDS/IPS) into IntelliKit, running on QNX and optimized for Qualcomm SoCs. Intellias engineering teams have ensured full platform-level integration, enabling high-performance security tailored to real-world automotive environments. This combined solution showcases how OEMs can deploy a robust threat-intelligence-powered security foundation for IVI systems, backed by real automotive attacks and designed for scalable SDV architectures.
As the complexity of in-vehicle systems continues to grow, so do vulnerabilities, cyberattack surfaces, and connectivity-related threats. To address this, security must evolve accordingly. Through our partnership with VicOne, we are strengthening SDV cybersecurity across the entire in-vehicle environment, from foundational platform protection to securing AI-powered user interactions. This partnership marks an important step forward in our long-standing relationship, built on shared goals and aligned with evolving industry needs.
For Intellias, the partnership expands its cybersecurity capabilities with access to advanced automotive security toolsets and deeper alignment with evolving EU cybersecurity regulations. Combined with its engineering expertise, this enables Intellias to deliver more comprehensive, compliance-ready solutions tailored to OEM needs. Together, Intellias and VicOne demonstrate how cross-layer collaboration can enable safer, smarter, and more resilient software-defined vehicles.
