The transition to software-defined vehicles, centralized compute platforms, OTA updates, and connected services is significantly increasing software complexity and attack surface exposure. Continuous asset visibility, vulnerability management, software supply chain security, and secure-by-design engineering are becoming essential capabilities throu...

Geopolitics, trade wars, and past semiconductor shocks have turned global, cost‑optimized supply chains into a structural risk, pushing OEMs and Tier Is toward regional hubs, near‑shoring, and local‑for‑local manufacturing to build resilience rather than pure cost efficiency. Europe and the ASEAN region have been the worst hit due to the conflict i...

The global automotive industry is witnessing a rapid shift towards electrification, driven by the need for stringent emission norms, fuel efficiency, and changes in consumer behavior. In this journey of electrification, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), including mild hybrids (MHEVs) and full hybrids (FHEVs), have come to the fore as viable solution...
