With next-generation vehicles rapidly transforming into software-defined platforms powered by High-Performance Computers (HPCs), the approach to automotive security is fundamentally changing. These powerful central processors are critical for everything from infotainment to autonomous driving, but their consolidation also creates a significant single point of failure and a vastly expanded attack surface.

In this briefing, we unpack the unique cybersecurity challenges presented by automotive HPCs. We'll explore how these systems manage mixed-criticality functions, the inherent risks of integrating diverse software on a single SoC, and the evolving threat landscape that includes everything from connectivity exploits to supply chain vulnerabilities. Imagine an attacker escalating privileges from a non-critical app to seize control of safety systems – the stakes couldn't be higher.

Join us to understand the essential defense-in-depth strategies for securing these complex automotive brains, from implementing Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to adopting rigorous Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) methodologies and real-time VSOC monitoring. As regulations like UN R155 and standards such as ISO 21434 mandate robust cybersecurity, it’s no longer optional to embed security from the design phase onwards.
