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 using an approved list 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
