Cybersecurity in Automotive Systems

Cybersecurity encompasses various domains and targets, making it challenging to generalize the risk. The interconnected nature of everything in cyberspace means that attackers focus primarily on their objectives and exploit the path of least resistance to achieve their goals. I'm your host, Lee Harrison. Today, on Siemens Security By Design podcast, I am joined by David Rogers, a cybersecurity specialist, and CEO of Copper Horse Ltd, a software and security company. In this episode, David provides invaluable insights into the multifaceted world of cybersecurity. He speaks about the challenges associated with securing the automotive industry, particularly in light of vehicles' increasing complexity and connectivity. He also shares the growing need for cybersecurity expertise and collaboration across various domains to effectively address the evolving challenges in securing emerging technologies. In addition, you will hear more about the concept of digital twins and the integration of virtual and real-world elements. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: * The vulnerabilities introduced by the integration of legacy technology and the potential for cyber attacks (10:35) * The changing dynamics of information sharing in the automotive industry, particularly in the context of cybersecurity (15:56) * Man in the Middle Attack (18:39) * The necessity for more robust and evolving standards that keep pace with technology (24:05) * The future of automotive technology, and the potential for fully autonomous vehicles (32:34) * Digital twins and the blending of virtual and real worlds, specifically in the context of sim racing and the use of simulators to train real-world drivers (35:32) Connect with David Rogers * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrogersuk/?originalSubdomain=uk] Connect with Lee Harrison * LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lee-harrison-55b7461/]

Exploring the Challenges and Priorities of Automotive Cybersecurity

In recent years, cybersecurity has become a buzzword in nearly every industry. Companies that have never dealt with a data breach or a cyber threat have started asking, “Why is cybersecurity important?” And the automotive world is not any different from the rest. Cybersecurity has become a fundamental concern for the development of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, as attacks can have serious consequences. Hello and welcome to the Siemens Security By Design podcast. I'm your host, Lee Harrison.
