Penetration Testing of the Connected Car
Penetration Testing of the Connected Car is a security assessment process that aims to identify and exploit vulnerabilities within a vehicle’s digital ecosystem, including its internal networks, external interfaces, and cloud-connected services. It involves simulating real-world cyberattacks to evaluate how resilient the vehicle’s systems are against unauthorized access, data breaches, and manipulation of critical components such as the infotainment system, telematics unit, and CAN Bus network. This testing extends beyond the physical vehicle to include mobile applications, backend servers, and communication protocols like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular connections.
The objective is to uncover potential attack vectors before malicious actors can exploit them, thereby enhancing the overall cybersecurity posture of the connected car and ensuring compliance with automotive security standards such as ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29.
Penetration Testing of the Connected Car
Penetration testing of connected vehicles is an important aspect of ensuring the security of modern automobiles. As the number of connected features in vehicles increases, so does the attack surface available to cybercriminals. Digitpol’s expertise in conducting penetration testing for vehicle manufacturers can be valuable in identifying vulnerabilities and securing connected vehicles.
CAN BUS networks are an essential part of modern automobiles and are used for communication between various vehicle components. Expertise in examining CAN BUS gateways and manipulation is crucial in identifying potential vulnerabilities and securing the system.
Forensic analysis of automotive systems can provide valuable information in the event of a security breach or incident. Digitpol’s experience in the examination of ECUs, clusters, keys, and built-in OEM GPS satellite navigation systems can help identify the root cause of any security incidents.
The recovery of identification data, crash data, historic faults, and errors from all types of vehicles can provide insights into any issues that may arise with a vehicle's systems. Examination of vehicles on-site or at a forensic laboratory can provide comprehensive insights into the vehicle's systems and any potential vulnerabilities.
Digitpol’s expertise in conducting penetration testing and forensic analysis on automotive systems can be beneficial in ensuring the security of modern automobiles. Identifying vulnerabilities and securing systems is crucial in ensuring the safety and reliability of vehicles.
