Report on CAM Ecosystem by EU Agency for Cybersecurity
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) recently issued a new report entitled “Cybersecurity Stocktaking in the CAM”. It aimed to provide an in-depth mapping of key stakeholders and relevant bodies and organizations in the EU.
The Connected Automated Mobility (CAM) is an important sector that addresses transformation in various industries as well as considering how to meet the needs for safer, more sustainable, and cyber-secure transformation. It's a whole ecosystem of services, consisting of a range of sectors and stakeholders.
CAM can change the way we live and how we perceive transportation. However, cybersecurity plays a vital role in its evolution, as increased connectivity and vehicle automation mean more cybersecurity challenges and threats.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) recently issued a new report entitled “Cybersecurity Stocktaking in the CAM”. It aimed to provide an in-depth mapping of key stakeholders and relevant bodies and organizations in the EU. The report also consisted of relevant critical services, infrastructure part of the CAM cybersecurity ecosystem.
The agency used a layered approach of desktop research and interviews, summarizing insights across the CAM cybersecurity ecosystem. ENISA conducted a survey and analysis of official statistics, academic research, external studies, white papers, legislation, policies, and other relevant documents for the report. Interviews were also conducted with key stakeholders from the CAM ecosystem.
The publication also complimented the agency's Recommendations for the Security of Connected and Automated Mobility report, which illustrated cybersecurity challenges faced by the CAM sector according to concerned stakeholders. In addition, it proposed possible recommendations to draft much-needed cybersecurity baseline measures and key issues that decision-makers may use to protect the CAM ecosystem at the EU level.
ENISA's report aimed to support the work of the European Commission and the Member States' competent authorities in revising or transposing the UN cybersecurity regulation into EU policy. The report is also relevant for decision-makers responsible for the CAM ecosystem's resilience, who would find important measures and issues that need consideration to draft a cybersecurity baseline.
The publication is also relevant to Operators of Intelligent Transport Systems (OITS), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Road Authorities (RA), Smart City Operators, and standardization bodies, among others.
Addressing the CAM ecosystem's cybersecurity is important to provide for safer and more sustainable transportation. However, it's also vital to take a holistic approach because vehicles, networks, and the back end are all closely linked.
