xPhinx

VicOne xPhinx is an automotive AI security solution that protects smart cockpit assistants, in-vehicle edge AI, and AI agents from prompt injection, jailbreaks, unsafe outputs, and sensitive data leakage. It is designed for low-latency protection in vehicle environments without compromising safety or user experience.

Cloud-based AI guardrails may be less effective for in-vehicle AI because they can introduce latency, depend on internet connectivity, increase compute overhead, and require data to leave the vehicle. These constraints can make them less suitable for smart cockpit and edge AI applications that require responsive, private, and always-available protection.

xPhinx protects in-vehicle AI without slowing it down by combining a lightweight on-device architecture with a dual-layer, risk-aware design. Its first layer runs continuously with minimal overhead, while deeper intent analysis is triggered only when higher-risk behavior is detected. Compared with LLM-based guardrails, xPhinx achieves up to 70% faster execution and up to 90% lower memory usage, while running fully offline and requiring no retraining or modification of existing AI models.

xPhinx protects in-vehicle edge AI models, including LLMs and VLMs, against prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, unsafe outputs, manipulated responses, and sensitive data leakage. Protections are continuously updated through VicOne automotive threat intelligence, supported by the broader TrendAI research ecosystem, including programs such as ZDI and advanced AI threat research initiatives.

No. xPhinx operates alongside existing AI models and requires no retraining or model modification. This helps automakers integrate AI security into existing automotive AI pipelines with minimal disruption.

Yes. xPhinx supports multiple hooking methodologies to intercept LLM inputs and outputs, and can be deployed selectively across different AI frameworks and operating systems.

xPhinx supports risk management aligned with ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155, and is developed under ASPICE CL2 processes — meeting the highest automotive software quality and cybersecurity standards.
