In this second part of our series on vehicle entry system technology, we focus on its most recent iteration, the ultra-wideband (UWB) protocol. We cover its advantages, the potential vulnerabilities it carries, and the measures that will help secure its integration into vehicles.

VicOne has partnered with the Automotive Security Research Group (ASRG) to launch AutoVulnDB, an innovative database focused on automotive vulnerabilities. This initiative provides exceptional coverage of automotive threat intelligence, establishing VicOne as the industry leader in comprehensive vulnerability management.

In this first installment, we examine the history of automotive entry technology and explore notable types of security breaches such as replay attacks, rolling attacks, and relay attacks.

Apps play a significant role in enhancing the functionality and driving the evolution of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). However, their integration also introduces new risks, as we explore in this blog entry.

Rust, a memory-safe programming language, is gaining traction as it is designed to address memory-related vulnerabilities. We discuss its potential impact on automotive cybersecurity.

A VicOne researcher demonstrates how automotive security researchers can take advantage of Python and ChatGPT, especially in scripting proofs of concept of known attacks and exploring novel vulnerabilities in automotive systems.

In celebration of World Quantum Day on April 14, we discuss how quantum computing can further improve advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) and the risks associated with this disruptive technology.

Open RAN is said to usher advances in V2X communications for connected vehicles. Researchers have taken a closer look at this technology to see where vulnerabilities might slip through amid its anticipated advantages.

The NIST IR 8473 cybersecurity framework profile marks a shift in scope from individual chargers to the entire charging infrastructure. This expanded scope suggests that electric vehicle supply equipment manufacturers and charge point operators need to consider cybersecurity from an industry-level risk-based approach rather than focusing solely on individual IoT devices.

By utilizing the BlackBerry IVY connected vehicle data platform, VicOne enables AI-empowered threat detections at the edge, cloud-controlled access to vehicle data, and response to potential cyberattacks on software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

By harnessing the power of AI and large language models (LLMs), VicOne effectively addresses common challenges encountered during cybersecurity risk assessment in the automotive industry — ensuring proactive and adaptive measures are in place to safeguard software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and critical systems against evolving threats.

Adopting zero trust principles in the automotive industry not only fortifies connected vehicles against evolving cyberthreats but also enhances the resilience and security of the entire automotive supply chain.
