Cybersecurity in Automotive Systems

Cybersecurity encompasses various domains and targets, making it challenging to generalize the risk. The interconnected nature of everything in cyberspace means that attackers focus primarily on their objectives and exploit the path of least resistance to achieve their goals. I'm your host, Lee Harrison. Today, on Siemens Security By Design podcast, I am joined by David Rogers, a cybersecurity specialist, and CEO of Copper Horse Ltd, a software and security company. In this episode, David provides invaluable insights into the multifaceted world of cybersecurity. He speaks about the challenges associated with securing the automotive industry, particularly in light of vehicles' increasing complexity and connectivity. He also shares the growing need for cybersecurity expertise and collaboration across various domains to effectively address the evolving challenges in securing emerging technologies. In addition, you will hear more about the concept of digital twins and the integration of virtual and real-world elements.
