Automotive security presents unique challenges, demanding solutions that keep systems operational even under attack. At our recent Securing Vehicle Systems Workshop, industry experts gathered to discuss priorities, economic viability, and groundbreaking research from the RESAuto project on memory safety in vehicle electronics.
In partnership with AESIN and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick,has concluded its groundbreaking study on the potential of Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) to address memory safety vulnerabilities in automotive systems.
AESIN attended the CYBER UK conference last month to see how the automotive industry featured at the UK government's flagship cyber security event. There were fascinating sessions on the use of AI for both attack and defence and a great talk by The Lazarus Heist podcaster.

As more and more software is used in vehicles, must the risks of errors and attacks inevitably increase? Modern cars contain around 100 million lines of code, which will increase to 300 million by 2030. Even though written by extremely competent and professional people, no codebase can be perfect and will contain some vulnerabilities. Unlike many other computer or mobile phone applications, automotive applications can be safety-critical which must perform even when malfunctioning or in the face of malicious attacks. So, the challenges in managing this rapidly expanding automotive code base are many.
