As computer threats targeting connected automobiles grow, manufacturers are adopting new safety tools to protect their systems. Industry experts emphasize the need for a multi-layered method, integrating real-time monitoring, intrusion detection, and normal software updates.
Experts explained manufacturers are deploying Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems ( IDPS) to monitor internal vehicle networks.
” IDPS is becoming a vital layer of defense, helping manufacturers recognize and alleviate digital dangers before they cause damage”, said Vikash Chaudhary, founder of cybersecurity firm HackersEra.
Manufacturers are also investing in Vehicle Security Operations Centers (VSOC ) to observe risks in real time across ships. ” A VSOC features like a security brain center for automakers, providing constant monitoring and threat intelligence”, Chaudhary added.
Regular software updates, delivered through over-the-air ( OTA ) technology, are another key strategy. Manufacturers are integrating automated update management to tackle vulnerabilities quickly.
