Cybercriminals have more tools, time, finances, and technologies at their disposal than ever before. Focused attacks on high-value targets are growing sharply. At the same time, the increasing dependence of connected vehicles on widely interconnected online systems introduces more attack vectors that attract hacker attention.

To achieve critical-modules protection, solutions against cyberattacks on connected vehicles require these major components:

• Real-time threat sourcing and update ability
• Cloud-based big-data analysis and correlation on generating threat knowledge
• Continuous service guarantee

Risk Assessment

• A best-fit solution to protect connected vehicles, according to Auto-ISAC and NHTSA
• A built-in solution to be able to collect and detect critical modules’ current health and risk status
• Ability to detect critical modules’ abnormal condition in the system, files, and network connection
• Ability to detect system vulnerability over time

 

System Protection

• A built-in solution to perform threat prevention and mitigation for critical modules
• A method to deter cyberattacks, such as an intrusion prevention system (IPS)
• A method to protect system integrity, such as whitelisting for files

• A dashboard and management console to have real-time security visibility for the immediate mitigation plan and action
• Ability to integrate with another back-end system so as to have a single console for the whole management function, including device management, device life cycle management, and security management
