About Block Harbor Cybersecurity
Block Harbor Cybersecurity provides vehicle cybersecurity services and a platform called VSEC. It sells to automakers and suppliers, helping them secure vehicles from design to decommissioning. The company offers both a do-it-yourself tool and done-for-you services through its Red Team and Blue Team. The VSEC platform supports security planning, implementation, testing, and monitoring. It includes automated threat analysis, templates, and guidance for design teams. During manufacturing, it coordinates testing and tracks vulnerabilities. After production, it maintains oversight and compliance documentation. The Red Team finds vulnerabilities through penetration testing and other assessments. The Blue Team helps design, implement, and monitor security, including threat analysis and risk assessment. Block Harbor is based in Detroit and has over ten years of experience with automakers and suppliers. It claims a 90 percent reduction in manual security tasks and has found over 500,000 vulnerabilities.
