Validate Automotive Security with Confidence
Modern vehicles rely on a growing number of interconnected electronic control units (ECUs), communication networks, and software-driven functionality. While these technologies enable advanced features and connectivity, they also expand the attack surface and increase the importance of security validation throughout the development lifecycle. Automotive security testing helps manufacturers and suppliers identify vulnerabilities early, evaluate system resilience, and reduce security risks before deployment.
The DS1170A Automotive Security Test Tool simplifies automotive security evaluations by providing an integrated platform for analyzing, and interacting with automotive communication networks and ECUs. Engineers can discover network activity, record and replay traffic, emulate missing ECUs, manipulate messages, and execute predefined security test scenarios without requiring deep security expertise. This allows development teams to assess system behavior, validate security controls, and investigate potential weaknesses more efficiently.
Designed to integrate with existing test environments, the platform supports protocol-independent testing and can be extended with Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection (FI) capabilities. Combined with Inspector software, the DS1170A helps organizations build scalable automotive security workflows, improve test coverage, and accelerate the development of more secure vehicle systems.

DS1170A
Keysight’s protocol agnostic automotive security testing tool offers an all-in-one option for multiple security test scenarios.
Pinpoint vulnerabilities and improve security for electronic circuits in vehicles using the Keysight DS1170 automotive security test tool. Developers can easily integrate the tool in their existing test bench to execute predefined attack scenarios and establish a security baseline for either a specific electronic control unit (ECU) or a combination of ECUs. Accompanying software streamlines control of the automotive security test tool and interpretation of results. Optimize your security setup with the ability to control multiple DS1170 automotive security test tools with one dashboard and share information between them.
Complexity in cars is increasing constantly. While the increase in electronic units in vehicles allows for a better driver experience, it also increases the number of points an attacker can exploit. By adding the DS1170 to your vehicle security development testing, you can increase security measures and stay ahead of threats. Keysight’s protocol agnostic automotive security testing tool offers an all-in-one option for multiple security test scenarios. It offers the following features:
- Standard connectors to easily integrate the tool in your existing test bench
- Ability to record and replay control area network (CAN) messages to emulate an ECU
- Automated fuzzing capabilities to test the robustness of any ECU
- Traffic-driven triggering capabilities to extend your test scenarios with side channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI)
- Prepared for ISO 21434
- Smart, active bus scanning in the discovery phase to record traffic
- Access to all low-level functions used in the predefined test scenarios to help you compose your own scenario
- Ability to analyze bus traffic in real-time and manipulate messages
- Use python or command-line for scripts

Frequently Asked Questions
Automotive security testing is the process of evaluating vehicle electronic systems, communication networks, and software components to identify vulnerabilities and assess their resistance against cyber and physical attacks. The goal is to uncover weaknesses before they can be exploited in real-world vehicles.
Modern vehicles contain dozens of Electronic Control Units (ECUs), multiple communication networks, wireless interfaces, and complex software. As vehicle connectivity increases, so does the potential attack surface. Security testing helps manufacturers and suppliers identify vulnerabilities early and reduce risk before deployment.
Yes. The platform includes predefined security test scenarios and workflows designed to help development and validation teams perform security assessments more efficiently, even if they are not security specialists.
The DS1170A is designed for automotive communication environments and supports protocol-independent security testing. The exact network configuration depends on the testing environment and vehicle architecture.
Yes. The platform can be used throughout the development lifecycle, helping teams identify vulnerabilities early, validate fixes, and establish repeatable security testing workflows before production vehicles are released.
