Hey Guys, I hope you enjoyed the episode and it gave you an insight into how AI defends Cybersecurity attacks. Here is the summary of the key points we discussed in this episode.

Cyberattacks targeting the automotive sector includes not only vehicles themselves but also EV charging stations, mobile apps, infotainment systems, and the supply chain supporting them. Here are some of the most striking cybersecurity incidents in the automotive world over the past year.

CDK Global.

In June 2024, CDK Global—a major software provider for car dealerships across the U.S. and Canada—was hit by a massive ransomware attack.

Skoda Superb III vulnerability.

Security researchers recently uncovered 12 different vulnerabilities in this vehicle model. While some flaws were relatively benign, others were serious.

Kia incident.

A vulnerability in Kia’s vehicle web portal let hackers gain access to users’ accounts.

In response to growing threats, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) introduced two critical frameworks: Regulations R155 and R156. But regulations only go so far. So automakers and tech suppliers are also turning to AI-driven security systems.

-Edge Threat Detection

-Zero Trust Architecture

There are also collaborative efforts forming. Industry groups like Auto-ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Center) are helping automakers share data on threats and vulnerabilities, aiming to create a collective defense mechanism across the sector.
