Automotive and Connected Car Cybersecurity

Protecting Automotive Apps from the Inside Out

The Race Is On

Today’s connected car is all about adding convenience by making cars an extension of their owner's smart device. The race is on for automakers and third-party companies to add remote control capabilities to smartphones allowing users to locate, manage navigation, lock/unlock, activate climate controls and even start their cars.

The other race is being run by bad actors who have successfully exploited weakness in mobile devices and apps. It’s easy to foresee how bad actors could use compromised apps to locate a targeted car, gain access to steal the contents, steal the car itself, or even direct a driver to an unintended location.
