Inbar Raz – Under the Hood – The Automotive Challenge
1 min read
In an average 5-year old car, there are about 30 different computers on board. In an average new car there’s double than that, and in some cases – up to a 100. That’s a network the size of a small business, only there’s no CIO/CISO or even a part-time IT guy. We have no idea what’s going on under the hood. To add to the complexity, there are between 2 and 5 different bus types in a modern car. With different protocols and even different wiring, a modern car’s network diagram is a CISO’s nightmare.
There are many challenges in the Automotive domain. From strict development regulations, through very long development cycles, and to very little security by design – working in this domain is challenging, to say the least. But unlike almost anywhere else, this time the defense might actually have a standing chance.
We will share our experience in the Automotive domain, explain the complexity of the playing field, share examples of problems we’ve encountered, and talk about the challenges involved.
