About

We build the tool we always wanted.

AutoST comes from a team that has spent years taking ECUs apart by hand. We automated what we learned, so your engineers get the same depth without the same decade of practice.

In short

AutoST is built by Zyberum GmbH, an automotive and embedded security team in Hannover, Germany, founded in 2019 by Tom Zaubermann, who previously led the InCar Security Testing Lab at Volkswagen AG. The team does hands-on ECU penetration testing and automated what it learned into AutoST. Its certifications include OSCP and the SAE and TÜV SÜD Automotive Cybersecurity certification for ISO/SAE 21434.

The maker

The person behind AutoST

Tom Zaubermann founded Zyberum in 2019. Before that he led the InCar Security Testing Lab at Volkswagen AG, where his work was pentesting ECUs and building security into how they are developed.

AutoST grew out of that work: the checks a good tester does by hand on a bench, turned into engines that anyone on the team can run. He speaks about car hacking and API security at conferences such as code.talks and on podcasts.

Credentials

Certified where it counts

The company

A product from a working security team

Zyberum is a cybersecurity company from Hannover. AutoST is its automotive product, built and used by the same people who do ECU penetration testing day to day.

That is the point of difference: AutoST is not a spec someone wrote, it is the distilled practice of a team that breaks ECUs for a living, and keeps feeding what it finds back into the tool.
