Transitioning from hardware to software-defined vehicle architectures

Transitioning automotive designs to software-centric platforms introduces architectural complexity alongside new capabilities for remote applications.

#2 about 4 min

Connected vehicle attack vectors and international cybersecurity regulations

Increased vehicle connectivity exposes new attack vectors and necessitates compliance with strict frameworks like the UNECE 155 regulation.

#3 about 4 min

Managing cybersecurity risks throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle

Maintaining ongoing security requires continuous threat monitoring, incident response frameworks, and over-the-air software updates over decades.

#4 about 5 min

Securing vehicle networks with hardware modules and strong cryptography

Implementing service-oriented communication manifests and hardware secure modules protects internal components from unauthorized access and rogue diagnostics devices.

#5 about 5 min

Analyzing real world vehicle vulnerabilities and keyless theft attacks

Hackers exploit weak encryption, CAN injection, and signal relaying techniques on key fobs to steal modern vehicles.

#6 about 2 min

Adapting industry practices for long-term vehicle software security

Automotive companies must revamp development paradigms and value chains to meet compliance and ensure vehicles remain reliably patchable.

#7 about 3 min

Audience questions on securing legacy buses and architecture isolation

The transition to ethernet networking does not eliminate the need for strict ECU isolation and adherence to standards like AUTOSAR.
