The automotive cyber security risk landscape is constantly evolving, vehicles today are full of possible vulnerabilities. Malicious activity from threat actors is up 30 – 40% in 2024, and it is only a matter of time before vehicles gets compromised. Attack vectors are changing, attack surfaces are increasing daily as more technology is added, and vehicles are getting smarter and more connected to other parties than ever before. 

Open-source protocols, connection to back-end interfaces and the cloud, and FOTA have given attackers the ability to not only launch an attack on a larger scale but also duplicate the attack to other vehicles. Major automotive companies, mainly in Asia, are now using advanced cybersecurity as a way to get customer attention and increase confidence to buy their vehicles. With recognition growing that a compromised vehicle is not only a financial problem but more importantly a safety and privacy problem, security is being viewed as a luxury vehicle feature and a way to win customers.

‘Getting R155/R156 Type Approval is the minimum requirement at the baseline. If we want to win markets and gain customer, we will need to do more than that.’

As the automotive industry’s drive to have vehicles connected all the time grows, and cutting-edge AI and LLMs are integrated into vehicles, vehicle cybersecurity becomes more and more important, requiring more advanced cybersecurity management systems and continuous monitoring and improvement of programs and processes. Threats are likely to triple, if not quadruple.

Automotive IQ will welcome vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, thought-leaders, technology companies, insurance providers and other stakeholders to Dearborn, Michigan in March 2025, with the objective of giving them ‘New Ways of Thinking from New Faces’ – which means you get to hear actionable technical insights, discover cutting-edge technologies and solutions, and learn practical strategies you can implement immediately.

On behalf of Automotive IQ, I sincerely thank the automotive cybersecurity community for their support and anticipate your participation at the 15th Anniversary edition of the Automotive Cybersecurity Detroit Conference in Dearborn Michigan next year.
