As the largest vehicle manufacturer in Turkey, Ford Otosan ramps up for upcoming cybersecurity regulatory compliance with CYMOTIVE's vulnerability and compliance management solutions and services.

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CYMOTIVE Technologies, the leading provider of smart mobility cyber solutions, today announced that the leading vehicle manufacturer in Turkey, Ford Otosan (Ford Otomotiv Sanayi A.Ş.) has selected CYMOTIVE to support its cybersecurity compliance certification of the UNR 155 and 156 regulations and to maintain continuous regulatory compliance.

Upon implementing CYMOTIVE's automated vulnerability and compliance management solutions and other cybersecurity services, Ford Otosan's heavy commercial brand Ford Trucks will achieve vehicle-type certification, enabling the OEM to sell its heavy-duty commercial vehicles in countries requiring compliance with the UNR 155 and 156 regulations.

The CYMOTIVE vulnerability management solution automatically maps all software and hardware vulnerabilities to the electronic control units (ECUs), prioritizes them according to the risk of their potential impact and damage, and recommends the best path for risk minimization. The solution also provides the documentation required for regulatory vehicle type certification compliance.
