WEBINAR

Securing the Connected Vehicle

sc-Vladislav_Gostomelsky

As cars and trucks incorporate more “smart” features and become increasingly connected with outside services, they also become more vulnerable to hackers and cyber threats that can steal information or even take control of the vehicle remotely. Internet and software-dependent systems are standard components of today’s vehicles—from information, navigation, and entertainment services to critical fuel, safety, and performance systems. Yet many have few, if any, basic security defenses that protect even the average credit card.

In this on-demand webinar, learn about the growing threat landscape for connected vehicles, the most common vulnerabilities, how to secure critical systems better, and why it’s essential for auto and component manufacturers to take a proactive approach to securing their products. Spirent Security’s Realistic Preemptive Intelligence will arm you with the knowledge to make critical decisions.
