End-to-end cybersecurity for connected vehicles
The automotive sector is undergoing a profound transformation as vehicles are being increasingly connected to everything. It’s all aimed at supporting innovations like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), shared mobility, autonomous driving, and electric vehicles (EV).
While these technologies improve safety, convenience and even protecting the environment, this dynamic ecosystem only works if we can trust it.
That’s where Thales comes in.
An increasing need for automotive cybersecurity
The automotive sector is complex, and it’s evolving to include a growing number of connected car stakeholders.
As the ecosystem becomes increasingly connected, attack points multiply, exposing new vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to threaten vehicle safety, users´ privacy, and car data integrity.
To compete in the new automotive landscape and ensure trust in the ecosystem, global car makers (OEMs) must deliver a strong cybersecurity framework that meets evolving automotive regulations.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) WP29 regulation and the ISO SAE 21434 for automotive cybersecurity, are moving the industry in this direction by requiring automotive OEMs to integrate vehicle cybersecurity along the entire value chain.
In other words, it’s driving a ´security by design' approach.
Together, building a connected car we can all trust.
How can we stop hackers from taking control of critical car systems and stealing sensitive data?
The key to safeguarding connected cars and defending against attacks requires secure access for a multitude of authorized stakeholders such as car drivers, car manufacturers, automotive IoT platforms, service providers, insurance companies, and maintenance operators.
From design to factory and then to the road, you can trust Thales solutions to safeguard vehicles, drivers and data through 6 steps that ensure robust automotive cybersecurity infrastructure along the car's long life.
