In the starting blocks: OEM-certified Security Gateway solution for the heavy class
Künzelsau, 15/07/2021: No obstacle for W.EASY. WABCOWÜRTH is working at full speed on an online portal through which all diagnostic functions on commercial vehicles can be performed easily and quickly in the future with OEM-certified Security Gateway technology.
As the number of electronic components installed in vehicles increases, so does the risk of unauthorized access and control of these electronics by third parties. It is not uncommon for such unauthorized access to have drastic consequences. As a result, more and more manufacturers are securing the diagnostic access of their vehicles with a so-called "Security Gateway" (short SGW) solution. In order to be able to continue to ensure simple and smooth diagnostics with W.EASY, WABCOWÜRTH has initiated corresponding adjustments at an early stage. As early as late summer 2020, the W.EASY multi-brand diagnostic solution for Security Gateway technology was authenticated on FCA vehicles. With W.EASY, a multi-brand diagnostic system with manufacturer-certified Security Gateway technology has thus been available to you since last year - and the work continues.
Although the number of vehicle manufacturers with a Security Gateway solution is currently still very limited in the commercial vehicle sector (two manufacturers, Fiat Professional and Iveco), WABCOWÜRTH is already developing a manufacturer-independent online portal for simple and convenient operation of the Security Gateway solutions in W.EASY multi-brand diagnostics. WABCOWÜRTH is thus one of the pioneers in the development of a security gateway solution for commercial vehicles.
The user in focus
During the development of the online portal, special attention was paid to intuitive operation and, above all, to the time aspect. Thus, only a one-time registration in the portal is required, after which the user can work in W.EASY diagnostics almost as usual and without any obstacles. The only difference is that when starting the diagnosis on an affected vehicle, the registered login data must be entered, and then the diagnosis can be performed immediately. The intermediary WABCOWÜRTH Online Portal eliminates the need for time-consuming registration and purchase processes for certificates from the individual manufacturers. Likewise, the scattering of private data is prevented. An unnecessary spreading of sensitive data like payment information over different portals is avoided by WABCOWÜRTH's portal acting as an interface.
Your advantages of the WABCOWÜRTH portal at a glance:
- Manufacturer-authenticated diagnostics on SGW-protected vehicles
- Tested and secure multi-brand diagnostics with OEM competence
- Simple and intuitive handling of registration
- Fast and effortless input of login data and diagnostic execution
- Minimal dispersion of sensitive data by using only one portal
Integration of further manufacturers in prospect
In the near future, more and more vehicle manufacturers will also come up with similar safety systems in the heavy-duty class. WABCOWÜRTH is already in active exchange with relevant commercial vehicle manufacturers. The goal of establishing the W.EASY software as a comprehensive, manufacturer-independent and certified interface is thus already in full swing.
