Webinar – Firewalling Threats for Connected Cars

Vehicle network security requirements are becoming more stringent with vehicle systems facing hostile adversaries through a variety of entry points. White-hat hackers have demonstrated the ability to gain remote access to dashboard functions and the transmissions of connected vehicles. That makes a firewall a vital component of a multilayered approach to vehicle security as well as overall vehicle functional safety and reliability.


Vehicle network security requirements are becoming more stringent with vehicle systems facing hostile adversaries through a variety of entry points. White-hat hackers have demonstrated the ability to gain remote access to dashboard functions and the transmissions of connected vehicles. That makes a firewall a vital component of a multilayered approach to vehicle security as well as overall vehicle functional safety and reliability.

During this expert-led webinar, you will learn:

  • Internet-based threat analysis over packets with malicious contents, denial of service (DoS) attacks, broadcast storms and packet flood conditions.
  • Firewall design considerations including rule-based filtering, stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, threshold filtering and protocol filtering.
  • Automotive use-cases for firewall incorporation into relevant ISO and AUTOSAR standards.
  • Practical design examples from in-production OEM flagship projects over firewall integration into existing ECU systems.
