Hyundai and Waymo announce strategic partnership to offer safe and convenient autonomous driving experience for customersFirst phase of the partnership will begin with Waymo integrating its autonomous driving technology into Hyundai’s all-electric IONIQ 5

SEOUL, South Korea and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 4, 2024 /CNW/ — Today, Hyundai Motor Company and Waymo announced they have entered into a multi-year, strategic partnership. In the first phase of this partnership, the companies will integrate Waymo’s sixth-generation fully autonomous technology – the Waymo Driver – into Hyundai’s all-electric IONIQ 5 SUV, which will be added to the Waymo One fleet over time.

The IONIQ 5 vehicles destined for the Waymo fleet will be assembled at the new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) EV manufacturing facility in Georgia and then integrated with Waymo’s autonomous technology. The companies plan to produce a fleet of IONIQ 5s equipped with Waymo’s technology in significant volume over multiple years to support Waymo One’s growing scale. Initial on-road testing with Waymo-enabled IONIQ 5s will begin by late 2025 and become available to Waymo One riders in the years to follow.

“We are thrilled to partner with Hyundai as we further our mission to be the world’s most trusted driver,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO, Waymo. “Hyundai’s focus on sustainability and strong electric vehicle roadmap makes them a great partner for us as we bring our fully autonomous service to more riders in more places.”

“Hyundai and Waymo share a vision to improve the safety, efficiency and convenience of how people move,” said José Muñoz, president and global COO of Hyundai Motor Company, and president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America. “Waymo’s transformational technology is improving road safety where they operate, and the IONIQ 5 is the ideal vehicle to scale this further. The team at our new manufacturing facility is ready to allocate a significant number of vehicles for the Waymo One fleet as it continues to expand. Importantly, this is the first step in the partnership between the two companies and we are actively exploring additional opportunities for collaboration.”

“We recently announced the launch of Hyundai Motor Company’s autonomous vehicle foundry business to provide global autonomous driving companies with vehicles capable of implementing SAE Level 4 or higher autonomous driving technology,” said Chang Song, President and Head of Hyundai Motor Group’s Advanced Vehicle Platform (AVP) Division. “There is no better partner for our first agreement in this initiative than industry-leader Waymo.”

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 will be delivered to Waymo with specific autonomous-ready modifications like redundant hardware and power doors. The award-winning, all-electric vehicle will enable long driving shifts on a single charge, and its 800-volt architecture will minimize time out of service with some of the industry’s fastest charging speeds available. The IONIQ 5’s well-appointed and spacious interior will offer plenty of legroom, headroom, and rear cargo space for a comfortable rider experience.

PRE Security Inc. Announces Major Update with XDR and Enhanced SOC Assistant; Presenting at Cyber Security World Asia in Singapore

Published

on

By

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PRE Security, the world’s first Predictive AI Security Operations (SecOps) solution company, has released an updated version of its groundbreaking product, now introducing next generation Open XDR Detect & Respond capabilities. The company will be presenting the new release and functionality along with its predictive vision for SecOps at Cyber Security World Asia 2024 at the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Center in Singapore next week as part of Tech Week Singapore.

PREdictive Vision
Predictive AI cybersecurity is a proactive approach that leverages predictive analytics and generative AI. Now with the inclusion of XDR detections, PRE Security provides an end to end SecOps solution that covers the entire stack from universal data collection, processing, multi-dimensional correlation, detections, and predictive analytics capabilities.

“With the ability to now detect existing attacks as well as predict future threats and vulnerabilities, security professionals have the opportunity to prevent or preemptively respond to attacks before they infiltrate network infrastructure, compromise valuable data and assets, or otherwise harm the organization,” said Paul Jespersen, co-founder of PRE Security. “Our predictive vision is a major “shift left,” not just towards zero, but to before zero, completely redefining security operations strategy and capabilities.”

Re-imagining XDR with the PRE Security CyberLLM™ 
At the heart of PRE Security’s groundbreaking new XDR capability lies the CyberLLM™. More than just another co-pilot or general purpose GPT, the CyberLLM is a domain-specific, purpose-built language model specifically designed for cybersecurity. This innovative AI engine powers Multi-Dimensional XDR Detections that unlock unparalleled coverage across all MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques. Unlike generic AI models, the CyberLLM is meticulously trained on cybersecurity specific material, including:

MITRE and NIST cybersecurity frameworks and guidelinesExtensive threat intelligence (including predictive intelligence)Comprehensive vulnerability databases (CVE’s etc.)and more

This focused training ensures that the CyberLLM possesses deep, contextual understanding of the cybersecurity landscape, enabling it to identify and correlate threats with unprecedented context and accuracy.

Breaking the Limits of Traditional XDR
While conventional XDR products are constrained by rigid, pre-defined integrations and limited pre-built detections, PRE Security’s generative approach is revolutionary. It leverages the CyberLLM’s advanced capabilities to analyze and correlate data across all organizational systems and data sources and build multi-dimensional correlations with maximum context. And with the ability to bring in logs and data from any source without pre-built parsers or integrations using patent pending Log2NLP technology, PRE Security delivers truly Open XDR for the first time in the industry, finally fulfilling the early promise of XDR to enable complex correlations across all data.

Enhanced SOC Assistant
The SOC Assistant capabilities have also been enhanced in the latest release. In addition to the built in SOCGPT™ interface that enables natural language interaction with an organization’s entire data set, the platform now has automated Prioritize and Triage features that provide valuable investigative information and all related context, reducing the need for analysts to perform in-depth manual investigations, summarizations, and reporting on every alert.

Cyber Security Week Asia Presentation and Keynote
PRE Security will be exhibiting along with local launch partner NGEN Technologies. John “JP” Peterson, co-founder and inventor of the PRE Security platform will be presenting the platform and discussing predictive cybersecurity on Thursday, the 10th of October 2024, both in the NGEN booth (Booth E141) at 11:00am, as well as a keynote presentation on “How Gen AI is revolutionizing SecOps” in the main CEA Theater at 2:50pm.

About PRE Security
PRE Security is a pioneering cybersecurity solutions company delivering superior detections and predictive security analytics in a comprehensive SecOps solution. Built on Generative AI, PRE Security eliminates the limitations, restrictions, and unfulfilled promises of conventional SIEM and XDR solutions. Founded by cybersecurity industry veterans John “JP” Peterson and Paul Jespersen, PRE Security Inc is based in Silicon Valley. Learn more at www.presecurity.ai.
