As vehicles become fully software-defined, cybersecurity risks shift from the network perimeter into the vehicle’s software and internal architecture, making in-vehicle security essential for ensuring safety, system reliability, and user trust.

This technology insight brings together leading experts to address critical questions surrounding SDV cybersecurity, offering a multi-perspective view of the evolving threat landscape and how in-vehicle security must adapt to increasing software complexity.

Contributing experts:

  • Joseph M. Saunders, Founder & CEO, RunSafe Security | LinkedIn
  • Markus Baum, Senior Partner, Roland Berger | LinkedIn
  • Konstantin Shirokinskiy, Partner, Roland Berger | LinkedIn
  • Paul Wooderson, Cybersecurity Chief Engineer, HORIBA MIRA | LinkedIn

Key questions explored:

  • How mature is cybersecurity in today’s software-defined vehicles, and how well is the industry keeping pace with the vulnerabilities introduced by increasing software complexity?
  • Of the key challenges in securing SDV software, architectures, and internal systems, which are the most critical to address first?
  • Which emerging security tools, architectures, and approaches show the most promise in practice, and is the industry converging on a coherent in-vehicle security framework?
  • As SDVs incorporate greater software complexity and external connectivity, how do cybersecurity requirements change, and can current security architectures scale to meet them?
  • Looking out ten years, what will the SDV threat landscape look like, and what must OEMs and their supply chains do now to stay ahead of it?
