Mahindra vehicles will soon get Android Auto

NEW DELHI: 

   Mahindra & Mahindra, India's top-selling utility vehicle maker, plans to offer Google's Android Auto technology in its vehicles, a top company executive has said in a statement.

The technology, which links smartphones and tablets with an in-vehicle infotainment system, will be available in Mahindra's sports utility vehicles XUV 500 and Scorpio as well as future platforms, said Pravin Shah, president and CEO, automotive unit.

Shah said it would be made available after "successful integration," without committing to a timeline.

Android Auto, an extension of Google's smartphone operating system, is expected to make driving safer and easier by allowing drivers to access applications like maps through voice command or by using controls on the steering wheel.

The company, part of the $17 billion Mahindra Group, also said it has become a member of the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA), a global group of automakers and technology companies working to bringing the Android platform to cars.

Automakers such as Ford Motor, Honda Motor, Renault and Volkswagen are part of the alliance which also includes Google, Delphi and LG among others.

New big data platform helps with security analytics and forensics

Cyber attacks are becoming more covert which helps them to consistently evade detection and means they can take weeks to uncover.

Cyber security startup Niara is unveiling its Security Intelligence Solution, combining advanced security analytics and forensics to help security teams quickly find sophisticated cyber threats within their organization.

Based on big data architecture, the Niara Security Intelligence Solution analyzes security data from disparate sources to ensure that security teams can identify and respond to sophisticated, multistage attacks that can be missed by existing monitoring and response solutions.

"The threat landscape is continuously evolving and enterprises need a way to discover and investigate advanced threats inside their network faster and more efficiently," says Sriram Ramachandran, CEO of Niara. "Niara's Security Intelligence Solution is designed from the ground up to leverage analytics and forensics from disparate data sources, providing unprecedented views into an organization’s network. This fundamentally elevates their threat discovery, incident investigation and breach response capabilities, reducing risk and helping them stay out of the headlines".

It can operate on a mix of data sources including logs, flows, packets, alerts and threat feeds to flag up threats and risky behaviors that remain undetected by log-based analytics alone. It builds an overview of an organization's threats by monitoring not only users, but also devices and applications to collect and discover threat information. Combined with Niara's ability to profile entity behaviors by linking together disparate events to uncover them as a multistage attack, it means teams have a complete view of an organization's risk posture

Security Intelligence Solution provides one-click access to a comprehensive forensic trail and analytics in the same solution to simplify and accelerate threat discovery and incident investigation. It can make use of existing data stores too without the need to recreate or duplicate data.

The Niara Intelligence Security Solution is available now and can be delivered for cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment. More information is available on the Niara website.
