Abstract

The presentation will start with a brief look at in-vehicle networks and a high level view of a traditional vehicle network topology, including arrangement of ECUs and types of communications. We will then look at the attack surface of a modern vehicle and delve into a few recent high profile automotive hacks from recent years. Finally we will look at how vehicle cyber security is being improved and the impact of incoming regulation on the industry.
