Vehicle cyber risk is a unique challenge for automakers. While OEMs have design, engineering, and testing standards in place to tackle safety, quality and reliability challenges, cyber risk is inherently different. There’s an outside variable you can’t control: cyber threat actors who seek out and exploit vulnerabilities. This means you’re not just engineering a solution: you’re fighting an enemy. An adaptive, well-resourced, and highly-motivated adversary. So how can OEMs, suppliers, telecoms, and service providers position themselves to win?

Key Takeaways:

• Know Your Landscape
  Map your connected vehicle ecosystem to clearly articulate the scope, identify relevant internal stakeholders, and generate consensus for a plan of action.
• Empower the Organization
  Identify a champion for vehicle cyber security. Then, bring together a cross-functional team to collaborate with organization-wide partners, and drive innovation to enhance vehicle cyber security.
• Build the Right Capabilities
  Protect the vehicle & connected infrastructure through comprehensive and cost-effective security controls. Use data-driven insights to maintain situational awareness of your risk landscape. Build an incident response capability to identify, scope, and resolve issues.
