As part of the agreement, itemis will integrate their “SECURITY ANALYST” Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) solution with BlackBerry® Jarvis® to enable automakers and their suppliers to comply with the latest automotive cybersecurity standards, including ISO/SAE 21434. BlackBerry Jarvis is a binary software composition analysis (SCA) and security testing tool, designed to detect and list open-source software and software licenses within embedded systems, as well as cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. It performs a thorough scan of the software binary and produces a software bill of materials (SBOM), offering deep actionable insights in a fraction of the time it takes for security professionals to manually perform these tasks
With professional services from itemis, BlackBerry Jarvis users will now be able to understand key findings in the areas of software composition analysis and security testing in context and evolve threat and risk models in real time.
“itemis is very excited to partner with BlackBerry to automate vulnerability identification so that OEMs have a holistic picture of the software composition of their vehicles and mitigate cybersecurity risks, IP disputes, and regulatory non-compliance,” said itemis Inc. President Jonathan Mohring. “Utilizing BlackBerry Jarvis in combination with our Security Analyst solution provides valuable context to identified vulnerabilities in automotive software and leads to more comprehensive Threat Analysis and Risk Assessments of automotive systems.”
“BlackBerry is pleased to collaborate with itemis to help improve both security and safety across the automotive industry,” said Grant Courville, VP, Products and Strategy at BlackBerry QNX. “With a focus on automation, BlackBerry and itemis will look to drive improvements in the area of vulnerability discovery and risk management to help make threat assessments more tangible for OEMs whilst increasing the threat context in vulnerability detection.”
