Developments in Connected Vehicles and the Requirement for Increased Cybersecurity
This work tackles cybersecurity challenges for vehicle manufacturers and users, but it is incremental as it reviews existing vulnerabilities without introducing new solutions.
The paper addresses the cybersecurity risks in connected vehicles due to increased connectivity, highlighting vulnerabilities and the need for robust design and validation to prevent cyber-attacks.
The increase in popularity of connected features in intelligent transportation systems, has led to a greater risk of cyber-attacks and subsequently, requires a more robust validation of cybersecurity in vehicle design. This article explores three such cyber-attacks and the weaknesses in the connected networks. A review is carried out on current vulnerabilities and key considerations for future vehicle design and validation are highlighted. This article addresses the vehicle manufactures desire to add unnecessary remote connections without appropriate security analysis and assessment of the risks involved. The modern vehicle is All Connected and only as strong as its weakest link.
