An overview of security threats and the need for security and secure development processes
This section presents an overview of security threats and explains the need for product cybersecurity solutions and why automotive organizations need to establish a secure development process.
New cybersecurity threats
Automotive IoT use cases increase the attack surface and introduce several new security threats to consider. The attack surface is increased as there are new attack vectors that need to be considered. For example, attackers can target the vehicle directly by gaining access to communication interfaces on the vehicle side including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular network communication, as well as target weaknesses in the IoT applications on the vehicle side. Attackers can also target weaknesses in communication protocols to the cloud side or exploit vulnerabilities in web apps. Additionally, attackers can find and exploit vulnerabilities in mobile apps.
