The automotive industry has undergone a major transformation, shifting from traditional hardware-centric vehicles to software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Unlike conventional cars, SDVs continuously evolve through over-the-air (OTA) updates, unlocking new features, optimizing performance, and enhancing safety over time.
While this shift continues to enable greater connectivity, automation, and personalization, it also expands the cybersecurity threat landscape. As SDVs integrate with cloud systems, mobile apps, and AI-driven features, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Ensuring robust security frameworks is critical to unlocking the full potential of SDVs while safeguarding user safety and data privacy.
