C2A Security is an Israeli company that develops cybersecurity and DevSecOps software and is headquartered in Jerusalem.[1][2][3]

History

C2A Security was founded in 2016 by Michael Dick, who previously co-founded conditional access company NDS Group, and began by developing in-vehicle cybersecurity tools.[4] In 2018, C2A launched AutoArmor to protect automobiles from hackers.[5]

In February 2019, C2A received $6.5 million investment in a Series A financing round led by Maniv Mobility and Israel Cleantech Ventures.[6][7] In the same year, C2A began a joint initiative with NXP Semiconductors on hardening CAN bus communications.[8]

In 2023, C2A expanded its operations and opened new offices in the RAD Tower at Har Hotzvim.[9][10] In October 2023, it was selected for the European Prize for Mobility.[11][12]

In October 2025, C2A acquired United States firm Vigilant Ops, a specialist in SBOM automation for medical devices.[13][14]

Operations

C2A is based in Jerusalem.[10] It develops a risk-driven DevSecOps and product security platform, EVSec, focused on regulatory compliance and lifecycle security for software-defined vehicles.[1] The platform is used by Daimler Truck under a global enterprise agreement, with planned deployment across the company's truck and bus brands, and is designed to support Cyber Security Management System requirements under United Nations vehicle cybersecurity regulations.[1] Other users include BMW, Marelli, NTT Data, Siemens and Valeo.[1] In September 2024, Mitsubishi Motors selected C2A's EVSec to manage cybersecurity processes for its vehicles.[15][16]
