It's been almost a year since the DMCA exemption made hacking your own car legal and 3 years since I Am The Cavalry launched our 5 Star Automotive Cyber Safety Framework. We've had demonstrations of vehicle hacks, research on secure over the air updates, and new open source hardware projects to simplify RE'ing your vehicle. Has there been a wave of vuls in vehicle systems? What are automakers doing to secure connected vehicles? What about that whole Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication mandate? Where is automotive security is going, what has the impact of policy been, and, most importantly - how can more researchers get involved in helping to find solutions to all this? This session will have guest speakers bringing some exciting "inside" perspective to these questions and more.
All things Vehicle Cybersecurity - Ask me about security in the automotive industry, what GM and others in the industry are doing, and how to get involved!
