The large software footprint of modern vehicles has opened the door to a constant barrage of remote attacks on over-the-air (OTA) updates, infotainment systems, keyless entry, and even autonomous driving systems. Automakers need continuous security testing; otherwise, weak cyber support lifecycles will erode trust and value.
Automotive cyberspace is increasingly hostile
The large software footprint of modern vehicles has opened the door to a constant barrage of remote attacks on over-the-air (OTA) updates, infotainment systems, keyless entry, and even autonomous driving systems. Automakers need continuous security testing; otherwise, weak cyber support lifecycles will erode trust and value. At the same time, cyberattacks on automotive IT systems have surged, enabling attackers to steal sensitive data and cripple production, resulting in massive financial losses.Electrification is the weak link in vehicle security
The security of electric vehicle (EV) charging networks lags behind adoption rates. Outdated software and a build-and-forget mindset have made them prime targets for attackers, giving them access to connected cloud services, payment systems, and the power grid. Attackers are increasingly targeting large-scale management systems rather than individual chargers, risking data theft and pricing manipulation. In a worst-case scenario, compromised charging loads could be used to manipulate local power grids.Automakers ignore quantum at their own risk
By 2035, quantum computers will likely crack current encryption standards, exposing everything from connected vehicles to IT networks. Automakers must transition to quantum-secure systems now or risk total operational failure.The report covers how cybersecurity impacts the automotive industry. This covers software-defined vehicles, autonomous vehicles, electrification, tightening regulations, and quantum computing
