CYMOTIVE Technologies

What CYMOTIVE Technologies does

CYMOTIVE Technologies is an Israeli automotive cybersecurity company founded in 2016 that delivers end-to-end cybersecurity solutions across the full vehicle lifecycle for global automotive OEMs — with deep structural ties to the Volkswagen Group via co-founding partner CARIAD. Its five-product platform covers the entire cybersecurity stack: CyCSMS for centralized cybersecurity governance and compliance (UNR 155, 156; ISO/SAE 21434; ISO 24089); CyClarity for automated chip-to-cloud security validation; CarAlert for vulnerability management combining automated matching with human intelligence; an In-Vehicle Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for real-time in-vehicle monitoring, forensics, and response; and a Connected Data Hub (CDH) for AI-powered fleet telemetry, semantic query, and cross-company data sharing. These products are complemented by professional engineering services in cybersecurity governance, risk assessment, security architecture, DevSecOps, penetration testing, and VSOC operations.

The company's technology is reportedly deployed across more than 10 million vehicles globally, with its VSOC actively monitoring over 1 million vehicles in real time. CYMOTIVE monetizes through enterprise license subscriptions and maintenance on its product platform, technology licensing to OEMs and tier-1 suppliers, and professional services engagements. Sales are delivered through a direct enterprise field-sales model targeting global automotive OEMs, with a German office in Wolfsburg serving European customers.

Revenue declined from $42.4M in 2023 to $32.7M in 2024 to $19.2M in CY2025. In May 2026, KPIT Technologies announced a phased acquisition with an initial $10M preference capital investment for 26% equity, total deal value of $60-120M contingent on revenue and EBIT milestones, and full ownership targeted by mid-2029. The company also expanded geographically via a June 2025 MOU with Vietnam-based FPT to address Southeast Asian automotive cybersecurity markets.
