Connectivity has the power to transform. However, it doesn\u2019t come without risks. The vast collection of highly sensitive data in connected vehicles necessitates an entirely new level of security, particularly against ransomware, cyber war, and other cyberattacks that exploit software and hardware flaws. Given the increasing complexity of the connected vehicle, It is critical to protect smart components and devices from the time they are manufactured until the end of their lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019s \u2018driving\u2019 your vehicle? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we refer to ‘connected vehicles,’ we are referring to vehicles that have interconnected systems that send wireless data about the driver and internal systems back to the manufacturer. Comprised of multiple amounts of hardware and software components across a complex supply chain, in many respects, a connected vehicle can be considered to be a \u2018computer on wheels\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the integration of numerous automated driving features and a wide range of communication interfaces, connected vehicles have a complex architectural design. In addition to endangering the safety of other road users, a successful external attack on such features has the potential to seriously harm passengers’ privacy and operations as well as organizations. As a result, the risk of cyberattacks escalates with increased vehicle connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attackers can hack connected vehicles in a variety of ways. They can take advantage of flaws in the mobile app that controls the vehicle. They have the ability to disrupt the communication channel. They have the potential to hack into internal vehicle systems. They have the capability to attack the vehicle’s backends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If left unprotected, the entire vehicle supply chain is at risk to cybersecurity attacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
