DETROIT and TOKYO, November 4, 2025 — VicOne, a leading provider of automotive cybersecurity solutions, today announced its participation in the Product Compatibility Program of Elektrobit, an award-winning and visionary global vendor of automotive embedded and connected software products and services. VicOne’s cutting-edge Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS), xCarbon, is now validated as compatible with Elektrobit’s EB corbos Linux operating system, ensuring smooth adoption across SDV architectures.
This program allows VicOne to deliver a pre-validated, ready-to-deploy cybersecurity solution that enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to accelerate development cycles, simplify testing, and address the growing demands of evolving E/E architectures in the era of SDVs.
xCarbon is VicOne’s advanced on-board IDS/IPS, engineered for frictionless and precise performance that adapts to the rapid pace of vehicle innovation. Initially developed to deliver next-generation Ethernet firewall protection, xCarbon has expanded to support virtualization through VMs and container environments. xCarbon also allows OEMs to bring VSOC capabilities into vehicles by leveraging edge AI, enhancing threat detection coverage from a single ECU to the entire vehicle. By sending only critical security events to the cloud, it can reduce data transfer and cloud processing costs by up to 60%.
Elektrobit’s EB corbos Linux provides a safety-aligned, open-source-based automotive operating system designed to meet the highest quality and compliance standards. All integrated applications undergo rigorous validation, ensuring OEMs and Tier 1s can adopt compatible products with greater efficiency. The validation of xCarbon’s compatibility with EB corbos Linux provides OEMs a cybersecurity-ready option that reduces testing effort, shortens time-to-market, and supports future-proof SDV strategies.

“For carmakers, time to market is critical. Pre-integrated platforms like EB corbos Linux can shorten validation cycles in increasingly complex vehicle environments,” said Max Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of VicOne. “We are proud that xCarbon is now compatible with Elektrobit’s platform. With unique threat expert rules powered by our automotive threat intelligence, xCarbon reduces false positives and eases the validation burden, directly supporting OEMs’ time-to-market goals.”
