Tata Elxsi and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Join Forces to Develop Advanced Automotive Cybersecurity Solution
Tata Elxsi (NSE:TATAELXSI) is among the world’s leading design and technology service providers across industries.
The company recently announced the joint development of an Automotive Cybersecurity Solution in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) under the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
This joint development will leverage Tata Elxsi’s well-established and industry-acknowledged expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as its business focus on software-defined vehicles (SDV) and EV solutions. It will be complemented by the advanced research capabilities of IISc.
Objectives of the TATA Elxsi IISC Cybersecurity Collaboration
The partnership aims to address the cybersecurity challenges posed by complex in-vehicle networks of sensors and the continuous advancements in software that define the modern driving experience.
