Apriorit’s work in automotive cybersecurity focuses on practical engineering tasks aimed at strengthening the security of vehicle firmware.

The company recently built a feature that extracts a detailed SBOM (software bill of materials) from Autosar‑based firmware, enabling users to identify Autosar modules present in a firmware image and determine their versions. With full visibility into all components, users can quickly assess exposure when new vulnerabilities are disclosed, and prioritize remediation.

Apriorit has also created a tool that detects unsafe or non‑compliant use of Autosar APIs. By scanning firmware for risky code patterns, the tool reveals issues that may be difficult to notice during a manual review.

To increase resistance to tampering and reverse engineering, Apriorit implemented an obfuscation layer designed for automotive systems. It includes multiple defensive checks such as root detection, anti‑debugging measures and jailbreak prevention.

Apriorit has also carried out targeted research on microcontrollers used in critical vehicle subsystems, including ABS, airbag units, lighting control and climate systems, to identify potential weaknesses in their firmware. This work is supported by the company’s continued involvement in automotive software and embedded system security, and its extensive expertise in reverse engineering, data protection and AI‑driven analysis.
