Bringing Safety, Security and Virtualization Expertise to CES 2026
SYSGO, Europe’s leading provider of safety- and security-critical embedded operating systems, will present its latest automotive technologies at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company will demonstrate how its real-time separation-kernel hypervisor PikeOS and its embedded Linux distribution ELinOS support the shift toward centralized computing, mixed-criticality ECU consolidation and secure software-defined vehicle architectures.
As vehicles increasingly operate as distributed computing platforms, the industry requires certifiable foundations capable of running diverse workloads — from ADAS functions to infotainment — on shared hardware without compromising safety or cybersecurity. SYSGO’s presence at CES highlights how its platform enables automakers, Tier-1 suppliers and developers to adopt high-assurance software architectures that remain flexible and certifiable over long product lifecycles.
Live Demonstration of Next-Generation Automotive Intrusion Detection
A centerpiece of SYSGO’s exhibit is a fully operational Host-based Intrusion Detection System (H-IDS) designed for modern vehicle E/E architectures. Built on AUTOSAR IDS specifications and developed with extensive threat analysis from AUTO-ISAC and MITRE ATT&CK, the demonstrator shows how ECU-level security monitoring detects anomalies and protects mixed-criticality domains in real time.
Running on a simplified but realistic in-vehicle architecture, the system illustrates how intrusion attempts can be identified, visualized and addressed using a connected SIEM workflow. This practical demonstration underscores SYSGO’s ability to bring rigorous cybersecurity, high-assurance architecture design and real-time resilience into the rapidly evolving automotive ecosystem.
PikeOS: A High-Assurance Foundation for Software-Defined Vehicles
At the center of SYSGO’s automotive portfolio is PikeOS, its certified separation-kernel hypervisor. The platform enables multiple guest operating systems — including AUTOSAR Adaptive, POSIX, Linux and Android Automotive — to run securely in isolated partitions on a single multicore SoC. This architecture supports ECU consolidation, domain and zone controllers, and centralized compute platforms while maintaining strict safety and security boundaries.
PikeOS is built with certification in mind, supporting ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and Common Criteria EAL5+. Combined with ELinOS for Linux-based workloads, the result is a versatile environment where high-performance applications and real-time control tasks coexist securely within a unified system architecture.
Long-Term Support for Automotive Development and Certification
SYSGO supports customers through the full development and certification lifecycle, offering long-term maintenance, safety documentation and integration support. Through its position within the Thales Group, the company aligns embedded software innovation with global cybersecurity and functional safety expertise. PikeOS is already deployed in multiple automotive programs, powering mixed-criticality ECUs that combine ADAS processing, communication stacks and Linux-based applications within rigorously partitioned environments.
A Platform for the Next Generation of Vehicle Intelligence
Visitors to CES will see how runtime monitoring, real-time isolation and certified virtualization create a trustworthy foundation for future mobility software. SYSGO’s automotive experts will be available to discuss ADAS ECUs, domain and zone controllers, and centralized vehicle compute architectures, providing insight into how developers can build safe, secure and certifiable systems for next-generation vehicles.
