Shelly Group AD brings a native version of its Shelly Smart Control App to select Audi models. To this end, the Shelly Smart Control app based on the Android Automotive OS will be available in the Audi Application Store. Customers can thus use the user-friendly range of functions for intelligent home automation intuitively via the familiar user interface of their vehicle’s infotainment system. This includes, for example, automatically opening and closing the garage door, and switching on the lights in the garage, in other rooms or throughout the house when coming home or leaving the house.
The integration of the Shelly Smart Control app into the Audi Application Store is carried out in cooperation with CARIAD, Volkswagen Group’s software company and Harman Ignite. It gives customers access to a wide variety of popular third-party apps, which are integrated into the infotainment system of the car. Regular online updates keep the apps in the infotainment system up to date.
Dimitar Dimitrov, the CEO and founder of Shelly Group, said, “We are thrilled to become part of Audi’s highly attractive digital ecosystem. As is our ambition, users are at the heart of the new functions and application areas of our app. With the native integration of our Shelly Smart Control app, we are further expanding our customer focus and technology leadership. We are confident that Audi customers will enjoy the integration of smart home in a customisable infotainment system.”
Wolfgang Kirsch, the CEO of Shelly Group, said, „The integration of our Shelly Smart Control app emphasises the relevance of the integration capability of technologies in the most diverse ecosystems as a success factor. This blending of different areas of life through smart technology will become even more important in the future. Our solutions are already being used in numerous products and services from well-known partners. We are therefore very proud that our technologically leading app and its innovations also meet Audi’s demands for exclusivity and performance.”

Upstream Security has announced it received an investment from Cisco Investments. The proliferation of complex IoT devices in the mobility, automotive, and transportation sectors introduces unprecedented operational efficiencies, data-driven services and solutions, and exceptional customer experience. However, advanced connectivity and software-defined components also open the door for large-scale cyber risks, threatening business availability and data integrity.
Upstream already protects millions of mobility connected vehicles and IoT devices worldwide, offering a cloud-based multi-layered approach to extended detection and response.
“We are thrilled to welcome Cisco Investments to our group of investors,” said Yoav Levy, the co-founder and CEO of Upstream Security. “This investment provides a unique opportunity to deepen our impact on the IoT sector, and more specifically mobility, automotive and transportation.”
This investment by Cisco Investments amplifies the need for purpose-built IoT cybersecurity solutions that will safeguard the mobility and IoT ecosystem across the entire development and production lifecycle.
“Together with our partners, Cisco is enabling automobile manufacturers across the globe to provide mission-critical, secure connectivity as cars transform into data centers on wheels,” said Aleem Rizvon, a vice president at Cisco Investments. “With an expected 95% of new vehicles having embedded connectivity by the year 2030, we can also expect a rise in automotive cybersecurity threats. Investing in solutions, to ensure the right safeguards for secure connectivity and operation are in place, is critical to instill the trust needed for wide adoption of the technology, not just in the automotive segment, but more broadly for other IoT applications, as well.
Upstream’s cloud-based IoT XDR platform analyses, in real-time, the contextual state of physical IoT assets and their connected ecosystem, to holistically identify and mitigate cyber risks. The Platform is agentless, requiring no installation of software or hardware, enabling rapid deployment and comprehensive coverage of devices already in production.
The Platform ingests, parses, and normalises vast amounts of connected vehicle data, IoT protocols, telematics, API transactions and other data streams from tens of millions of devices, endpoints and application consumers. This data enables the creation of unique digital twins—near real-time representations of devices and endpoints, facilitating holistic and effective detection. By monitoring devices, services and overall asset behavior, the Platform detects both known and unknown anomalies based on proprietary ML-powered models.
Coupled with a purpose-built vehicle security operation center (vSOC), dedicated for monitoring and investigating connected vehicles and IoT cyber threats, Upstream provides a holistic suite of cybersecurity solutions and services to enable customers to proactively identify and remediate cyber threats. Utilising Upstream’s Ocean AI, Generative AI-powered capabilities, accelerates the investigation remediation process.
