HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE: HAR), the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, has been named a 2017 Award Winner by the internationally-renowned Edison Awards. Inspired by Thomas Edison’s persistence and inventiveness, the distinguished awards recognizing innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy, will be presented on 20 April 2017 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala Event, held in New York City, USA.
HARMAN’s end-to-end telematics cybersecurity solution for connected and autonomous cars, is comprised of three products: the innovative ECUSHIELD for in-vehicle detection and mitigation; TCUSHIELD for secure communication with the Internet; and the recently-launched Alerts Monitor for incident management and remote over-the-air software updates.
