As modern vehicles integrate complex computing, software, and connectivity systems, the attack surface for cyber threats expands, making automotive cybersecurity a critical necessity. As the drive-by-wire, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication becoming standard, any security vulnerability can have catastrophic consequences, including compromised vehicle control, data breaches, and supply chain infiltration. A robust cybersecurity framework is essential to ensure vehicle safety, regulatory compliance, and ecosystem integrity in the evolving automotive landscape.
Key Aspects of Automotive Cybersecurity
1. Digitalization of Vehicles — Securing Software-Defined Mobility
Modern vehicles rely on advance technologies like drive-by-wire and ADAS, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. The intrusion detection and prevention systems is necessary to ensure protection against remote hijacking.
2. V2X Connectivity — Expanding the Cyber Attack Surface
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication enhances road safety but increases cyber risks. IEEE 1609.2 and Zero Trust Architecture secure data exchanges against interception and manipulation. Strong encryption protocols protect vehicle-to-everything (V2X) interactions, ensuring safe and authenticated communication.
