Advancing Cybersecurity of the Connected Vehicle across the Industry

WASHINGTON, DC, DC, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) announces that Manifest, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and software supply chain security, and FESCARO, a trailblazer in end-to-end mobility cybersecurity, are new strategic partners who will be engaging with the group’s automotive-sector members.

“Automakers have a long history of collaborating with cybersecurity providers, and our Partnership Program empowers industry leaders to proactively engage with the automotive industry as Innovators, Navigators and Community partners, offering unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, enhanced visibility, and sustained growth,” said Faye Francy, Executive Director of the Auto-ISAC.

“The automotive industry has reached a turning point, where software and AI are now core to vehicle performance, safety, and compliance. As AI proliferates, inventorying and securing those AI dependencies will become the industry’s next challenge. The members of the Auto-ISAC recognize the critical importance of securing the software supply chain, and we look forward to working with them to advance vehicle cybersecurity,” said Marc Frankel, CEO and Co-founder of Manifest.

Manifest helps automotive companies navigate and comply with global cybersecurity regulations and standards, including UNECE R155, ISO/SAE 21434, and the European Cybersecurity Resilience Act (CRA), ensuring manufacturers meet current and emerging industry requirements. Manifest also helps enterprises manage and respond to vulnerabilities across business units and product lines, detect vulnerability and license risk in open source and supplier-provided software and AI, and automate Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) workflows and management.

“We are honored to join Auto-ISAC as an Innovator Partner. Automotive cybersecurity requires collaboration across the entire ecosystem, it is a team effort, not an individual challenge. As an Auto-ISAC partner, we are committed to fostering collaborative intelligence by sharing practical guidance and proven case studies from our hands-on experience. More particularly, we are dedicated to solving real-world cybersecurity challenges while maximizing resource efficiency for the industry", said Seok-min Hong, CEO of FESCARO.
