dSPACE Takes Over dissecto

Portfolio expanded to include end-to-end, automated, security testing workflows for the entire development process

Paderborn/ Regensburg 3. December 2025. dSPACE is expanding its portfolio to include cybersecurity solutions for embedded systems and has taken over the business of dissecto GmbH for this purpose. Customers in the automotive, agriculture, health, and manufacturing sectors will benefit from high-performance, end-to-end, and automated security testing workflows throughout the entire development process. dissecto technologies – in particular the scalable cybersecurity test framework for vehicle development, HydraVision – will be integrated with existing development and test solutions from dSPACE in the future.

With an explorative approach and expandable templates, HydraVision enables the efficient integration of cybersecurity tests into the development process. This allows potential weak points to be identified, evaluated, and mitigated at an early stage.

"Cybersecurity is a key success factor in the development of modern, networked systems. With dissecto technologies, we can offer our customers an expanded portfolio with a highly specialized cybersecurity platform that optimally complements our offerings in the areas of validation and verification. In this way, we support manufacturers and suppliers in sustainably meeting the increasing safety requirements in the automotive industry," says Carsten Hoff, CEO of dSPACE.  

For dissecto, the integration into the dSPACE Group opens a new chapter of further development. "With the support of dSPACE, we can take our security testing solutions to a new level, scale them internationally, and integrate them even more deeply into existing development and test chains. Customer benefits include technological continuity and accelerated innovation," explains Alexander Meisel, COO and co-founder of dissecto.

The dissecto portfolio – including HydraVision, HydraLink, HydraHat, and HydraProbe, as well as training, consulting, and pen-testing services – will be continued and further developed. Existing customers will retain their contacts and can continue to rely on the expertise and support of the dissecto team, which will remain in a competence and development center at the existing Regensburg site.
