With ISO/SAE21434 requiring OEMs to ensure vehicle cybersecurity through the vehicles life cycle to decommission, hear a case study on how an industry lead is handling the new standard. Find out how the OEM is adopting ISO/SAE21434 beyond discussion and see the practical changes being made to ensure compliance with the new standard.  

• Planned and practiced approach towards ISO/SAE21434 
• Adoption of the standard into daily practice and necessary changes that had to be made to incorporate the new standard 
• Address the changes in structure within the company to ensure the standard is complied with 
• Explore practical implications of ISO/SAE21434 on an OEM on a deeper level, beyond discussions of compliancy 

Technologies to secure connected vehicles have now moved beyond internal software and hardware. The ability to strengthen vehicle security from outside the physical unit using cloud technology provides an additional tool in maintaining vehicle integrity. In this session, we explore the economics and capabilities of cloud technology, focusing on the merits of combining internal and external security programs to boost security and aid in staying on top of incoming vulnerabilities.

• Utilizing cloud technology to identify issue areas and track vulnerabilities without the need to enter the vehicle 
• Ensuring zero-day vulnerabilities can be countered, and vehicle safety is attained beyond the first day off the production queue 
• Effectiveness of cloud technology as an additional tool to ensure vehicle security  
• The merits of bridging the gap between operational technology and cybersecurity, and what greater communication means for the future of connected vehicles 

Hear the importance of OTA as a tool to remotely patch bugs and close vulnerabilities in connected vehicles. Explore the merits of utilizing remote connection to resolve vehicle issues, while addressing the security concerns of creating additional vulnerabilities through OTA updates. As well as finding out OEM and supplier moods towards the change, and what it means for the longevity of cybersecurity in vehicles. 

• The driving factor behind the change towards over-the-air updates 
• How OEMs and supplier are implementing the shift to over-the-air updates, and the industry mood towards storing and interacting with information remotely 
• Benefits of remote correction, mitigating the need for an expensive fleet recall to repair bugs 
• The coverage via over-the-air updates in the long run and the necessity to cover vehicles for entire lifecycles via OTA 
• Supporting over-the-air in remote locations with no cell coverage and how this will be overcome moving forwards 

The biggest challenge we have is that nobody has a good feel for what it’s going to be like tomorrow. What is the expectation? How can we make sufficient plans to cover upcoming cybersecurity needs? What is the fundamental environment that we’re looking at going forward? 

Join us for a final presentation looking at the future of the industry. Automotive cybersecurity has come a long way in two years, especially considering the impact of Coronavirus. Where will we be in another two years? What will be the hottest technology? Will more regulations and standards regulate automotive cybersecurity? 

• The biggest changes facing automotive cybersecurity in the next six months 
• Implementing the new regulations, standards and mandates and will more regulatory entities follow as the automotive cybersecurity space expands? 
• Movement of the new technologies: the development of quantum cybersecurity, cloud-based technology and blockchain security 
• Future of data entering and exiting automotive vehicles
