TO SERVE AND PROTECT

As cars become more connected and automated, cybersecurity concerns are rising. Industry engineers have many tools and techniques and are now deploying encryption and standards to ensure that vehicle controls are not altered or usurped by unauthorized people.

Automotive security concerns have rapidly evolved from physical equipment like door locks to cybersecurity concerns for connected vehicles. Developers are now deploying encryption, standards, and other techniques in their battles to ensure that vehicle controls are not altered or usurped by unauthorized people.

Connectivity's growth means increases in the number of potential points for breaches, which extends the complexity of security systems. Design teams have to safeguard not only vehicle systems but also the links to cell phones and other devices. Many developers have set a high bar for prevention, feeling that no dangerous intrusion should occur.
