Securing the connected, smart and increasingly autonomous cars of tomorrow against hackers and criminals will only get harder as the computerized and constantly communicating ecosystem for connected vehicles expands to take in smart road infrastructure, smart homes and smart cities. That’s the warning in “Observations and Recommendations on Connected Vehicle Security,” a new paper from the Cloud Security Alliance, a tech-focused industry group that studies security issues and promulgates best practices. The authors were lead by Brian Russell, who is the chairman of CSA’s Internet of Things Working Group and the chief engineer for cybersecurity solutions at Leidos. They note that a connected vehicle’s attack surface only gets larger as automakers add more navigation, engine-control and entertainment systems inside the car, and society adds more smart devices and connected infrastructure outside of it. “Within a system-of-systems such as the CV ecosystem, there are many points of interconnectedness.

After decades of buildup, the dawn of the smart city is within sight. The biggest connected-vehicle pilot programs in the world are ramping up right now across the United States. But experts still have grave concerns about the cybersecurity and ultimately the safety of this expanding technology. The timetable is imminent. New York City, Wyoming and Tampa have been the sites of the federally approved Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program since launch in 2015.

Over the next two years, all three of the programs plan to be fully operating. The long-term goals are grandiose and the forecast is clear: Nearly everything on every road in America will one day be connected, tracked and to some extent […]
