"GuardKnox's solutions meet the stringent ISO 26262 cybersecurity standard, the Common Criteria (ISO 15408), and can increase original equipment manufacturer (OEM) reliability to 99.99999%," said Dorothy Amy, Senior Research Analyst, Automotive IT, Industry Analyst. "Its Communication Lockdown methodology (US Patent 9,899,563B2) provides the highest level of vehicle security by permitting only authorized communication, locking every field in every message within the vehicle. By utilizing strict rule sets, the architecture is designed to transmit only the vetted communication with very high security and fidelity, making the system verifiable, efficient, and highly attack resistant."

GuardKnox's second patent for hardware architecture (US Patent 10,009,350B2), SNO, enables secure physical separation of communication networks. SNO will lock down all internal communication at a bit level and serve as a gatekeeper by enforcing the layers of protection on every message either at ingress or egress. It is more relevant in a fragmented automotive supply chain because it eliminates the complexities of integrating software-only solutions into a holistic security strategy.
