The automotive industry continues to evolve as the autonomous vehicles space makes impressive strides and new technologies emerge.

The upshot is that automotive vehicles are increasingly becoming computers with wheels. While most of them currently still come with a steering wheel, autonomous vehicles where no human drivers are involved are clearly somewhere on our technological horizon. In recent years, some of a vehicle's onboard computers have started to connect to the internet, opening up the possibility of cyberattacks and creating a need for security infrastructure to defend them.

In the following report, data, research and consulting business Ovum (media partners of Connected & Autonomous Vehicles) discusses the most prominent security threats facing the connected vehicle market. We’ll look at why the introduction of autonomy compounds the problem and case studies that demonstrate where we should head next.

Now in its 4th year, Connected & Autonomous Vehicles, co-located with Internet of Things World, continues to be THE intersection of automotive & IoT innovation. It's the meeting place where leading software and auto experts come to learn and tackle issues impeding growth, enabling companies to advance beyond strategy and achieve tangible results.
