Upstream Security, a provider of the cybersecurity detection and response platform for the mobility and transportation industry, has announced its partnership with Canopy Security, the provider of an IoT solution that monitors and protects pickup trucks against cargo theft.
Canopy provides an app-driven video security device designed to protect truck bed cargo against theft. This IoT system is based on AI and image recognition technology and delivers intelligent surveillance and a complete view of the truck bed. The Canopy system is connected to a Canopy Hub, which provides cellular connectivity and dedicated power to enable continuous monitoring. Users receive a push notification whenever suspicious activity is detected.
Christian Moran, Canopy’s CEO explained, “Together with Upstream, we can ensure our system is monitored and protected against cyber threats. In addition, we leverage Upstream’s unique product-centric threat intelligence to ensure we proactively mitigate cyber risks and ensure the most innovative and agile product delivery to our users. Upsteam’s extensive expertise in connected vehicle cybersecurity, and commercial vehicles specifically, will support our growth strategy and integration with various commercial vehicle OEMs.”
Yoav Levy, Upstream’s CEO and co-founder. “Upstream already monitors and protects millions of connected vehicles worldwide and billions of monthly API transactions. We are rapidly expanding our detection and response capabilities to cover the entire ecosystem, including mobility applications, services and IoT systems. Our partnership with Canopy highlights Upstream’s unique ML modules that support sophisticated cybersecurity anomaly detection across the many layers of the mobility ecosystem, including IoT protocols, system logs, API transactions, telematics feeds and more.”
Upstream offers the first cloud-based detection and response platform (XDR) for the broad mobility industry, covering vehicle manufacturers, fleet applications, and vehicle-related IoT systems. Leveraging an agentless architecture, with zero hardware or software footprint in actual devices, the platform offers the flexibility to monitor a wide range of MQTT and telematics data sources, API transactions, and many additional data streams. The platform effectively ingests and enriches the data to create a digital twin that reflects the individual state of each mobility asset or application.
Based on this unique digital twin and advanced ML modules, the platform detects a wide range of cybersecurity anomalies that may impact operational integrity, business continuity, data privacy, etc. Coupled with Upstream’s AutoThreat® PRO threat intelligence solution, which provides threat intelligence based on findings from the deep and dark web, mobility players such as Canopy can implement a holistic and proactive approach to secure their assets and ensure customer trust.
