The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) yesterday published a report on the cybersecurity of smart cars.
The report aims to promote cybersecurity for connected and (semi-)automated cars by identifying emerging threats and issuing guidance on potential security measures that can help to mitigate them.
“Smart cars already available today provide connected, added-value features in order to enhance car users’ experience or improve car safety. With this increased connectivity (that the emergence of 5G is expected to further promote) novel cybersecurity risks and threats arise and need to be managed,” the report states.
The new report presents a more in-depth analysis of the conclusions reached in ENISA’s 2017 study, “The ENISA Cybersecurity and Resilience of Smart Cars—Good Practices and Recommendations.”
In their latest report, ENISA researchers note that Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) interfaces, needed for the deployment of intelligent transport systems and autonomous cars, have expanded the potential attack surface and attack vectors. They predict that as smart cars are increasingly affected by the growth of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence, the number of risks posed by cyber-threats will rise.
