Whitepaper Release: Consumer-Centric Cybersecurity Assessment for Vehicles

Automotive

We’re thrilled to announce the release of our latest white paper, “A Consumer-Centric Cybersecurity Assessment,” which delves into the critical issue of protecting connected vehicles from cyber threats. This comprehensive document provides valuable insights and actionable guidance for automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and policymakers working to ensure the safety and security of modern vehicles, focusing on the critical issue of protecting connected vehicles from cyber threats.A key focus of the paper is a consumer-focused assessment framework, providing an understandable security rating for drivers.

The rise of sophisticated in-vehicle technologies has undoubtedly enhanced driving experiences and opened up new possibilities for convenience and connectivity. However, this digital evolution also introduces vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit. Our white paper underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle – from design and development to deployment and ongoing maintenance. We delve into industry best practices, highlighting key standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, ISO/PAS 5112, ISO 24089, and UN/ECE Regulation 156. These frameworks provide a solid foundation for mitigating risks and safeguarding sensitive data.

Furthermore, we explore the evolving threat landscape facing the automotive industry, examining real-world examples of cyberattacks targeting vehicles. From manipulating critical driving functions to stealing personal information, these attacks underscore the urgent need for proactive security measures. Our white paper emphasizes the crucial role of collaboration between stakeholders – including manufacturers, suppliers, researchers, and government agencies – in developing comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. Only through a united effort can we effectively address this complex challenge and build trust in the future of connected mobility.
