Automotive cybersecurity

Comprehensive security for automotive companies and their products

Cars aren’t just vehicles any longer. Now they are computers on wheels. Trusting them with your life, you largely trust their on-board computers and their resistance to external attacks. Meanwhile, the automotive industry still has a lot of security concerns.

As the first TISAX service provider in Eastern Europe, we have completed many implementation projects and remain the best in this area. We effectively solve car security problems using the services listed below.

Penetration testing Test the resilience of your IT systems, staff or organization as a whole using ethical hacking techniques. We assess the likelihood and potential paths of unauthorized access, service disruption, and other security incidents. Security compliance audit Gain a market advantage by aligning your organization with international security standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, IEC 62443, AI Act, MiCA, and more. VDA ISA implementation and ENX TISAX certification Gain new opportunities in the automotive industry with the implementation of VDA ISA and ENX TISAX certification. We are the leaders in this field. SCADA and OT audit Assess the security of your critical infrastructure. We will help you with a deep SCADA and OT audit on IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, as well as with industrial automation. Configuration audit and cloud security assessment Make sure your system, cloud, or product is fully up to date with security requirements. During the audit, we analyze accounts, network configurations, data encryption, incident response, and more. Incident investigation and forensics Find out who penetrated your system, and when, how, and why they did it. We carry out detailed research including media analysis and apply cutting-edge techniques such as RAM, registry, shadow volume analysis, timeline analysis, and more.

Sources of security problems in the automotive industry

Recent research has shown that 30% of organizations in the automotive industry do not have an information security management system or cybersecurity team, and 63% of organizations perform vulnerability testing for less than half of the automotive software they develop. Research and surveys show that the main factors leading to vulnerabilities are:

1
Development

Accidental errors and non-compliance with the rules of secure software development (SDLC).

2
Testing

Lack of appropriate testing procedures.

3
Open source

Use of vulnerable or outdated open-source software.

4
Personnel

Lack of information security specialists.

In terms of specific technical issues, three areas pose the greatest risk to vehicle safety: autonomous driving technologies (or driver assistance), telematics, and radiofrequency technologies (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). Thus, cybersecurity is becoming one of the key features of vehicles.
