Future-Ready Automotive Cybersecurity Solutions
Why Is Cybersecurity Vital to the Automotive Industry?
As the automotive industry continues to harness the power of connectivity, new regulations highlight how imperative automotive cybersecurity is on the road ahead. Research projects that the automotive software and electronics market will see strong growth in the next decade, reaching US$462 billion by 2030.* But this progress can also give rise to new risks. OEMs and suppliers bear most of the responsibility of protecting vehicles from these risks, positioned to ensure automotive cybersecurity from the early designs to the eventual decommissioning of vehicles, as mandated by regulations.

Complex
Cyberattacks
Vehicles are transforming into viable targets for advanced threats.
Risky
Vulnerabilities
Software and other advanced components introduce security flaws.
Critical Data Privacy Concerns
An ever-expanding connected car data ecosystem calls for enhanced data protection.
The Automotive Threat Landscape
The automotive threat landscape has transformed significantly in recent years. A major shift is how modern vehicles have become susceptible to the same risks that previously plagued only IT systems. Components that make a vehicle autonomous, like vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, telematics, in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI), and sensors, introduce new risks and vulnerabilities. Beyond the vehicle is an even more expansive attack surface that goes back to the supply chain, a consistent focus for threat actors. Ransomware and data breaches are among the top challenges faced by the automotive industry. But as connected vehicles continue to drive into a new frontier, the industry is likely to face cyberthreats both familiar and unconventional with significant consequences.
The Automotive Attack Surface
Examples of potential cyberattacks against vehicles:
Man-in-the-middle attacks
Attacks on OBD
Attacks on EV chargers
Attacks on IVI
Compromised mobile apps
Delivery of malicious OTA updates
Exploits of software vulnerabilities
