Security in a car
Mar 20th, 2019 by Jesper Kråkhede
This might be interesting. A few hours ago I was contacted by a company that is providing consultancy within the automotive business. Apparently they have received a request for cybersecurity in car development and that is a completely new skillset for them so they have reached out to me to check if I´m the right person.
So what is cybersecurity in a car? Frankly, it is nothing out of the ordinary: secure development, threat modelling, secure infrastructure, key management and that´s about it. Anyone working deeply in the automotive industry will disagree with me but from what has been presented to me this looks like more or less it. If I´m offered the assignment I will most probably accept just for the chance to learn some more details.
I expect there will be several challenges that I havn´t encountered in years like thinking about processor usage, size of applications, optimisation etc. ?
