Firewalling Threats for Connected Cars

Overview

Vehicle network security requirements are becoming more stringent with vehicle systems facing hostile adversaries through a variety of entry points. White-hat hackers have demonstrated the ability to gain remote access to dashboard functions and the transmissions of connected vehicles and in response to the posed threats, governments around the globe are legislating liabilities for self-driving vehicles – US SELF DRIVE act of 2017 is an example. That makes a firewall a vital component of a multilayered approach to vehicle security as well as overall vehicle functional safety and reliability.
