Tracks: Technology/Vehicle Systems

Speaker(s): Milan Patel

Connected cars top the list on consumer Internet of Things (IoT) wish lists, and automakers are already delivering the first wave of products. As quickly as the automakers are adding features, security researchers are finding and exploiting flaws, largely for notoriety and attention from the press. But it won’t be long before cyber criminals find a financial motive for hacking vehicles, the surveillance value of installing malware is identified and hacktivists realize the potential as well. This session will cover the flaws already presenting themselves in connected vehicles, what automakers are doing to get ahead and how everyone can influence the safety and privacy of not just connected vehicles but the Internet of Things.

Attendees will learn:

  • The weaknesses inherent in today’s connected vehicles.
  • What is being done to build security to protect safety and privacy.
  • The motivation of threat actors.
