The automotive industry’s long-standing challenge of balancing production efficiency and security has grown increasingly complex with technological advancements. Automation, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and advanced communication networks have revolutionized production, boosting productivity, quality, and efficiency. However, these interconnected systems also create vulnerabilities, offering multiple entry points for increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
As the future of automobiles becomes defined by software, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are evolving into major software suppliers, heightening the risks to security functionality and consumer privacy. Hackers are likely to target these systems, posing significant threats to the industry’s integrity.
In this white paper, TXOne Networks examines the expanded attack surface introduced by industrial automation and CPS. Key topics include:
- An analysis of the pressing challenges faced by automotive manufacturers.
- A review of critical regulations shaping the industry’s cybersecurity posture.
- Actionable best practices for protecting CPS in modern production environments.
