Connected Cars Under Siege

In 2023, automotive and mobility cybersecurity experienced a significant shift toward large-scale incidents. The proportion of  "High" or "Massive" impact incidents doubled  from 2022 to 2023, accounting for nearly 50% of all incidents, with 295 reported cases. Notably,  infotainment-related incidents almost doubled , increasing from 8% in 2022 to 15% in 2023.

The Regulatory Framework

The automotive industry is subject to a stringent regulatory framework designed to protect consumers from cyber threats. Regulations like  UNECE R155  and standards such as  ISO/SAE 21434  are fundamental to ensuring the security of connected vehicles. These guidelines establish the  necessary framework  for manufacturers and suppliers to develop and implement robust cybersecurity measures throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
