What is SentraX?
SentraX is an AI-powered automotive XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform for fleet cybersecurity. It provides in-vehicle intrusion detection (IDPS), CAN bus anomaly monitoring, secure telemetry collection, and a cloud-based VSOC (Vehicle Security Operations Center) dashboard for real-time threat detection and incident response across connected vehicle fleets.
How does FleetDetect work?
FleetDetect is SentraX’s in-vehicle IDPS module. It monitors CAN bus traffic, Ethernet communications (DoIP, SOME/IP), and diagnostic protocols (UDS, OBD-II) in real time. Using ML-based anomaly detection and signature-based rules, it identifies intrusion attempts, protocol violations, and abnormal ECU behavior — then reports findings to the cloud VSOC for fleet-wide correlation.
What vehicle protocols does SentraX monitor?
SentraX monitors CAN, CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1), DoIP, SOME/IP, SOME/IP-SD, UDS, OBD-II, LIN, and FlexRay. The protocol coverage can be extended via configurable parsers for OEM-specific proprietary protocols. V2X message monitoring (CAM, DENM, BSM) is available as an add-on.
Can SentraX integrate with our existing SOC?
Yes. SentraX provides SIEM integration via syslog, CEF, and STIX/TAXII feeds. The APIConnect module offers REST APIs and webhooks for bi-directional communication with your existing SOC tools (Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, etc.). Alert data can be forwarded in real time for unified security monitoring across IT and vehicle domains.
How does SentraX handle fleet-scale telemetry?
SentraX’s FleetConnect module uses edge preprocessing on the vehicle gateway to reduce bandwidth — only security-relevant events and aggregated metrics are transmitted to the cloud. The cloud ingestion pipeline handles millions of events per day with automatic scaling. Data is stored in time-series databases optimized for fleet-wide correlation and historical analysis.
What is the VSOC dashboard?
The VSOC (Vehicle Security Operations Center) dashboard is SentraX’s cloud-based command center for fleet security teams. It provides real-time threat visualization, fleet health overview, individual vehicle drill-down, alert triage workflows, incident response playbooks, and compliance reporting. The dashboard supports role-based access control and multi-tenant views for OEMs managing multiple vehicle lines.
Does SentraX support UNECE R155 compliance?
Yes. SentraX directly supports R155 requirements for ongoing cybersecurity monitoring (CSMS post-production phase). It provides evidence of continuous threat detection, incident logging, vulnerability monitoring, and response capabilities that auditors require for CSMS certificate renewal. Reports can be exported in formats suitable for type approval documentation.
How is SentraX deployed in vehicles?
SentraX’s in-vehicle agent runs on automotive-grade gateways and high-performance ECUs. It supports AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms, Linux-based systems, and QNX. The agent has a minimal resource footprint (typically under 5% CPU, 32 MB RAM) and can be deployed via OTA updates to existing vehicle fleets. No hardware modifications are required.
