In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, the automotive industry stands at the forefront of technological innovation. Modern vehicles are no longer just mechanical marvels; they have evolved into rolling computers on wheels. This transformation has not only revolutionized the driving experience but has also introduced new challenges and vulnerabilities, chief among them being automotive cybersecurity. The Mechanical Era The roots of the automotive industry trace back to the late 19th century, with pioneers like Karl Benz and Henry Ford introducing the world to the marvels of the motor vehicle. In these early days, cars were purely mechanical contraptions, devoid of any digital components. The idea of a "car hack" was inconceivable as there were no computers or electronic control units (ECUs) to compromise. The Emergence of Digital Control The 20th century brought about a pivotal shift as automotive engineers began incorporating electronic systems for improved performance, safety, and comfort. The introduction of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) marked a significant milestone. ECUs allowed for more precise control over engine functions, optimizing fuel efficiency and emissions. As digital technology became more pervasive, ECUs multiplied and evolved to control various aspects of the vehicle, from anti-lock brakes to airbags. Vehicles were becoming increasingly reliant on software and electronic components. This shift enhanced vehicle performance and opened the door to exciting new features, but it also laid the groundwork for cybersecurity concerns. The First Signs of Vulnerability In the early 21st century, automotive cybersecurity entered the public consciousness. Researchers began uncovering vulnerabilities in vehicles' digital systems. The emergence of keyless entry systems and wireless tire pressure monitoring systems raised concerns. These convenience features, while enhancing the driving experience, also presented opportunities for malicious actors to exploit wireless communications. In 2010, researchers demonstrated the remote hijacking of a car's systems, a watershed moment that alerted the industry to the looming threats. It was a wake-up call for manufacturers to recognize that cars, like any other connected devices, could be hacked. Industry Response and Regulations As the threat landscape evolved, the automotive industry mobilized to address cybersecurity concerns. Manufacturers started implementing security measures in their vehicles, and organizations such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) began developing standards for automotive cybersecurity. These standards aimed to guide manufacturers in securing their vehicles against potential threats.

Cyber security is a key issue affecting the confidence of Internet users and the sustainability of businesses. It is also a national issue with regards to economic development and resilience. As a concern, cyber risks are not only in the hands of IT security managers, but of everyone, and non-executive directors and managing directors may be held to account in relation to shareholders, customers, suppliers, employees, banks and public authorities. The implementation of a cybersecurity system, including processes, devices and training, is essential to protect a company against theft of strategic and personal data, sabotage and fraud. Cybersecurity and Decision Makers presents a comprehensive overview of cybercrime and best practice to confidently adapt to the digital world; covering areas such as risk mapping, compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, cyber culture, ethics and crisis management. It is intended for anyone concerned about the protection of their data, as well as decision makers in any organization.

This book explains the five pillars or battlefields of cybersecurity and how a Zero Trust approach can change the advantage on each battlefield. We have taken a deep dive into each of five battlefields where we have a decided disadvantage due to constitutional structure and moral behavioral guidelines, where we provide examples of how we got here, what we can do about it, why we got here, and how we can avoid these traps in the future. This is a unique viewpoint that has never been explored – the five battlefields include Economics, Technology, Information, Education, and Leadership – and how each has contributed to our current disadvantage on the global stage. We go on to discuss how Zero Trust can change the game to create an advantage for us going forward. The credibility of Zero Trust stems directly from the father of Zero Trust, John Kindervag, who says, “And now, Steve has written a new book on Zero Trust called Losing the Cybersecurity War: And What We Can Do to Stop It. It is undeniably the best Zero Trust book yet written. While other writers have focused on implementing Zero Trust from their perspectives, Steve focuses on why Zero Trust is so important on the modern cybersecurity battlefield. His concept of the five cyber battlefields is a great insight that will help us win the cyberwar. By weaving Zero Trust principles throughout these five concepts, Steve demonstrates how the ideas and efforts involved in building Zero Trust environments will lead to a profound shift in terrain advantage. No longer will attackers own the high ground. As defenders and protectors, we can leverage modern technology in a Zero Trust way to keep our data and assets safe from infiltration and exploitation.”

Quantum computing is considered the “next big thing” when it comes to solving computational problems impossible to tackle using conventional computers. However, a major concern is that quantum computers could be used to crack current cryptographic schemes designed to withstand traditional cyberattacks. This threat also impacts future automated vehicles as they become embedded in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) ecosystem. In this scenario, encrypted data is transmitted between a complex network of cloud-based data servers, vehicle-based data servers, and vehicle sensors and controllers. While the vehicle hardware ages, the software enabling V2X interactions will be updated multiple times. It is essential to make the V2X ecosystem quantum-safe through use of “post-quantum cryptography” as well other applicable quantum technologies. This SAE EDGE™ Research Report considers the following three areas to be unsettled questions in the V2X ecosystem: How soon will quantum computing pose a threat to connected and automated vehicle technologies? What steps and measures are needed to make a V2X ecosystem “quantum-safe?” What standardization is needed to ensure that quantum technologies do not pose an unacceptable risk from an automotive cybersecurity perspective?
