Vehicle Connectivity Challenges
Today’s vehicles are equipped with IoT-enabled devices and complex telematics networks that provide live tracking, remote start and stop, remote access, temperature control, and autonomous driving. This enhanced connectivity and automation has put additional pressures on automotive OEMs to ensure optimal performance and security of their products.
Vehicle Cyber-Security
Cyber-criminals can now launch an attack from the internet to compromise vehicle performance, reliability, and safety. In addition, malicious actors are increasingly targeting automotive OEMs for cyber-attack. Threats include:
Zero-Day Attacks:
A Zero-day attack is a cyber intrusion that remains hidden until date of activation. Attacks can include:
- Unintended airbag deployment on thousands of vehicles
- Sudden application of brakes at full speed
- Unintended vehicle acceleration
- Compromise of navigation system
- Hacking of onboard vehicle diagnostics
Ransomware:
Malware that infects various elements of connected vehicles. Once infected, the malicious actor demands a “ransom” for the return of access to systems and devices. A manufacturing outage due to malfunction or ransomware attack can cost an automotive OEM up to $28,000 per minute. Other impacts can include:
- Loss of data and/or device access until ransom is paid
- Long-term disruption in targeted vehicle operations
- Repeat ransomware attacks on targets that continue to be vulnerable
- Increased costs due to disruption-induced warranty and repair claims
- A vehicle manufacturer recalled 1.4 million vehicles due to a bug that could enable an attack on brakes and transmission.
- For half a decade, millions of vehicles were vulnerable to a remote exploit capable of everything from tracking vehicles to engaging or disabling braking systems.
- A four-year vulnerability created an opportunity for an attacker to conduct a fully remote hack to start or stop the vehicle’s engine.
Consequences for Vehicles
The lack of effective cyber-security can have devastating and long-lasting consequences for the automotive OEM.
- Mass malfunction, accidents & loss of life
- Ransomware attack and monetary loss
- Loss of consumer confidence
- Long-term reduction in sales revenue
- Extreme damage to brand name
- Degradation in share value
- Risk of large-scale lawsuits
