Cybersecurity in the automotive domain. The window of opportunity to tackle cybersecurity aspects on a system level is now
report
Modern smart mobility concepts are increasingly relying on data and connectivity, and cybersecurity is becoming an essential precondition for their uptake and success. In fact, a lack of cybersecurity can be a complete showstopper for the further introduction of new smart mobility systems, especially in cases where road safety – and therefore human lives – may be endangered. With the fast digitization of the mobility domain, the risk is that mobility systems are being developed without security in mind, even if connected vehicles recently following the United Nations Regulation no. 155 (R155) and no. 156 (R156), this could lead to suboptimal and potentially blocking solutions. The window of opportunity to tackle cybersecurity aspects on a system level is now. For this, action is needed both by governments and private parties. This TNO position paper provides an analysis of the most important organizational and technical challenges of cybersecurity aspects in the automotive domain. With a generic risk analysis method and model for cyber threats in mobility services, we perform a threat and gap analysis for three selected connected mobility system services. Our analysis leads to recommendations on how to tackle the challenge of cybersecurity in new mobility concepts and gives recommendations for starting points, both from an organizational and technical point of view.
