VicOne brings its suite of solutions, including xCarbon (intrusion detection and prevention), vSOC (fleet monitoring and response), and EVSE Security (protection for electric vehicle charging infrastructure). Purpose-built for vehicles and EV charging systems, these solutions provide fleet-scale visibility, actionable intelligence and contextual insights into emerging threats. VicOne’s platform is powered by extensive threat intelligence enriched with over 70 million new data entries each month.
