Panasonic, Trend Micro announce
cybersecurity partnership Amadeus to drive IATA NDC-X data
distribution capability in region
Panasonic and Trend Micro, announced a partnership to
jointly develop cybersecurity solutions to detect and prevent
cyber-attacks against autonomous and connected cars.
The partnership aims to achieve high security of
autonomous and connected cars by developing a
solution to detect and prevent intrusions into Electronic
Control Units that control driving behavior. This includes
acceleration, steering and braking, in-vehicle infotainment
devices including automotive navigation systems, and
telematics devices.
This partnership will leverage Panasonic’s Control Area
Network intrusion detection and prevention technology and
Trend Micro IoT Security. Panasonic’s technology will be able
to detect any unauthorised commands sent to Electronic
Control Units that control driving operation, while Trend
Micro IoT Security, which utilises Trend Micro’s global security
intelligence and expertise such as malware analysis, will be
implemented on in-vehicle infotainment devices such as
automotive navigation systems to detect attacks that seek to
exploit vulnerabilities through the Internet.
The overall development will enable the provision of
solution including in-vehicle and cloud systems to prevent
cyber-attacks against autonomous and connected cars.
Panasonic and Trend Micro will be working jointly on the
development and aim to launch commercially after 2020. The travel industry is
moving towards increased
personalisation as
merchandising techniques
drive new revenues and
business opportunities, and
as travellers expect brands
to know them and adapt
offers accordingly.
It is against this
backdrop that Amadeus
has announced the creation
Maher Koubaa, MEA VP Airlines, Amadeus.
of a dedicated programme
to drive the industrialisation of New Distribution Capability and ensure its
success for all travel players. Created by IATA, New Distribution Capability is
an XML-based data transmission standard that holds huge promise for the
travel industry, and will enable travel companies – from airlines to travel
agencies – to evolve travel distribution and merchandising.
The NDC-X programme is a continuation of Amadeus’ previous work
towards the digitalisation of the industry and the creation of commercial
possibilities to build on New Distribution Capability.
The NDC-X programme is a strategic priority for Amadeus. The aim is to
create better journeys for travelers through the best use of technology, and
this transversal programme will work with the travel seller and airlines to
deliver just that.
