Block Harbor Named “Automotive Cybersecurity Company of the Year” in 2024 AutoTech Breakthrough Awards
We are excited to announce that Block Harbor has been recognized as the “Automotive Cybersecurity Company of the Year” in the 2024 AutoTech Breakthrough Awards, a program dedicated to spotlighting top innovators in the automotive and transportation technology industries.
Our flagship platform, the Vehicle Security Engineering Cloud (VSEC), played a key role in this achievement. VSEC provides a centralized, web-based system for automakers, suppliers, and auditors to manage vehicle cybersecurity throughout the entire product lifecycle. With features for risk and vulnerability management, compliance tracking, and asset monitoring across all levels of vehicle architecture, VSEC enables secure collaboration and consistent compliance from concept to end-of-life support.
Built on more than a decade of automotive cybersecurity experience, VSEC integrates tools for streamlined asset and risk management, alongside modules like VSEC Garage offering remote access to physical systems for testing and diagnosis, and VSEC Test for automated cybersecurity testing across CAN, OBD II, Bluetooth, and network interfaces. These resources allow automotive companies to efficiently address cybersecurity challenges, scale their operations, and enhance the security of connected vehicles on a global scale.
Our recent Automotive Capture the Flag (CTF) competition also reflects our commitment to develop and support cybersecurity talent in the industry. With a $100,000 prize pool, the CTF encouraged skill-building and offers hands-on learning for security professionals worldwide. Finalists from 3 continents across the globe traveled to the U.S. for the final competition round, held at this year’s Auto-ISAC Summit.
“This award underscores our commitment to solving the evolving challenges of automotive cybersecurity,” said Brandon Barry, CEO of Block Harbor. “Our focus on innovative solutions and industry collaboration drives us to set new standards for security. Thank you to AutoTech Breakthrough for this recognition, and we look forward to contributing to a safer, more connected future in mobility.”
The AutoTech Breakthrough Awards recognize outstanding companies and solutions in a range of technology categories, from autonomous driving and AI to vehicle telematics and cybersecurity. This year, nominations came from over 15 countries, highlighting a global focus on advancing automotive technology.
We are honored to be part of this distinguished group and are eager to continue pushing the boundaries of automotive cybersecurity to keep vehicles safe on the road.

As medical devices become more connected, the need for structured cybersecurity grows. This post compares how automotive and healthcare industries handle risk—and how TARA can help medical device makers move from reactive compliance to proactive protection.
Industrial IoT boosts factory performance but widens the cyber-attack surface. This post shows how a structured Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) process, aligned with IEC 62443 security levels, helps asset owners, integrators, and suppliers spot vulnerabilities, set the right protections, and keep production safe and resilient.
New firmware scanning feature in VSEC lets OEMs verify country-of-origin for software packages—critical for compliance with Rule 791D’s ban on Chinese and Russian components in connected vehicles.
The Department of Commerce rule banning Chinese and Russian software and hardware in connected vehicles is live and in effect. Automakers and their supply chains have until model year 2027 to comply.
