According to SAS, by 2025, there would 2 billion connected cars – cars with new car features and aftermarket devices. As vehicles are getting “smarter” with these internet connected devices, the risk of getting cyber attack is more than ever.
When vehicles are connecting to everything (a V2X environment), they’re facing 3 main problems –
- Many ways to break in the car: Driver assistance system, blind spot system, or even entertainment system on cars could be hackers’ target. In the other side, key players in automotive industry are aiming to achieve fully automatous driving. That means car will rely on connected devices and their communication more than before. Any slight malfunction in system could lead to significant accident.
- Various types to break into the system: There is a long list for cyber attacks including WiFi / bluetooth Attack, remote vehicle hijacking, man-in-the-Middle attack, GPS Spoofing, etc. There is no one easy way to solve all of them by just one click.
- No digital data / evidence for tracking: We may get record from car black box when car activity happens in physical environment. However, there’s no specific way to keep record for car activity in cyber space. It’ll hard for people to understand the real cause of car accident – physical hit or cyber attacks?
ArcRAN, a cybersecurity company focusing in V2X, is continuously working on these problems. Based on ArcRAN’s real site test, top 1 cyber threat for V2X site is “GPS Spoofing” – when a person uses a radio transmitter to send a fake GPS signal to a receiver antenna in order to counter a legitimate GPS satellite signal.
ArcRAN provides V2X cybersecurity solution – iSecV to monitor wireless signals (WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and C-V2X) in order to detect abnormal behavior in V2X environments. Powered by machine learning and Integrated with threat intelligence, it provides early warning to unexpected incidents.
