Problem
Modern connected cars face challenges related to increasing in-car system complexity, inadequate security for connected services and data transfer, and slow boot times for Linux-based systems. The proliferation of system-on-chips (SoCs) in vehicles, coupled with vulnerabilities in data handling, creates potential safety and performance issues.
Solution
Perseus provides hypervisor-based solutions designed to reduce in-car hardware and software infrastructure complexity, enhance security, and improve the performance of connected car systems. Their hypervisor technology enables multiple operating systems to run on a single SoC, reducing the number of SoCs required by up to 75%. Perseus also offers secure container solutions that replicate the secure environment within ARM TrustZone, providing a near-infinite number of secure containers. Additionally, their Linux Fast Boot solution reduces Linux boot times to approximately 2 seconds, addressing safety concerns related to slow start-up speeds.
Target Audience
Perseus primarily targets automotive manufacturers and suppliers focused on connected car technology, in-car systems, and automotive cybersecurity.
