Rethinking automotive cyber risk for the age of accelerated vulnerability discovery

By Tamás Pentz, Head of Threat Intelligence, PCA Cyber Security  Automotive cybersecurity has traditionally focused on putting controls into vehicles that counter the ways criminals could physically tamper with a vehicle. However, the growing adoption of connected vehicles calls for a reassessment of assumptions. Today a weakness in one connected system can compromise many vehicles.  Modern vehicles rely on cloud platforms, mobile applications, over-the-air (OTA) update services, diagnostic systems and software from multiple third-party suppliers.
