Cybersecurity in Automotive Systems

Cybersecurity in automotive systems involves protecting vehicles' electronic components—from navigation and entertainment to engine control—from digital threats. As cars become more connected through features like internet access, remote updates, and vehicle-to-everything communication, they become targets for hackers. Ensuring cybersecurity means implementing measures to prevent unauthorized access, data theft, or control over vehicle functions that could endanger safety or privacy. It’s an ongoing process, combining hardware and software safeguards, to keep vehicles safe from cyber threats while maintaining reliable performance and protecting passenger information.
