Cutting Edge Automotive Cybersecurity Training

Cutting Edge Automotive Cybersecurity Training by Tonex

In the past decade, the automotive industry has undergone tremendous technological changes in terms of connectivity and personal mobility.

Modern cars are more and more like computers rather than mechanical products. It is not uncommon for modern cars to have remote connectivity and high-tech features, such as touch-sensitive dashboards, which can keep themselves up to date through regular software updates.

The risk of a cyber attack will depend on the potential outcome and the factors that determine the likelihood of the attack.

In the automotive industry, the consequences can be severe-if safety-related functions are compromised, it can cause injury or death, and if a large number of vehicles are threatened or required to be recalled, it can cause serious damage to reputation.

In the new digital age, due to the vehicle’s wireless communication capabilities, mobile devices (such as cellular phones or tablets connected to the vehicle via USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) may have vulnerabilities inside or inside, and this problem is becoming more and more disturbing Third-party equipment connected through the vehicle diagnostic port.

As the digital transformation of the automotive industry exposes new cybersecurity threats, this is a serious problem. Before the digital age and the advent of 5G architecture, what happened in your car usually stayed in your car.

Of course this is no longer the case. The influx of digital innovation from infotainment connections to over-the-air (OTA) software updates is turning cars into clearing houses.

In cooperation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, the automotive industry has been actively responding to automotive cybersecurity challenges and continuously exploring ways to mitigate related risks.

Therefore, regulators and governments have worked hard to ensure that network security has become an indispensable focus at all levels of the automotive supply chain.

Adding security components to automotive embedded systems may hinder the function of the system and affect the real-time performance of mission-critical systems.

Automotive system and software engineers, testers, hardware designers, developers, and security analysts need a well-defined method to simultaneously design automotive embedded functions and network security.

Secure automotive embedded systems may use security coprocessors to cryptographically ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the system while maintaining functionality.
