Purpose
I wrote this blog series (with input from Mocana CTO James Blaisdell) in response to recent high-profile car hacking incidents (Jeep and Corvette). Mocana wanted to educate automakers about the key security issues for today’s connected cars, as well as promote the Security of Things Platform™.
Audience
This document serves several audiences:
- Automakers, particularly security and product managers who are aware of the broadly publicized Chrysler Jeep hack (https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/) and the Corvette brakes hack (https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/researchers-hack-a-corvettes-brakes-via-insurance-black-box/).
- Mocana IoT blog readers, who subscribe to keep abreast of security concerns.
- Mocana customers who want to know how to increase their ROI by integrating Mocana products into more of their own products and applications.
Comments
The primary challenge of this project was keeping the length down so it didn’t turn into a 20-page whitepaper! There was so much important information, and so many opportunities to promote the product, that I finally settled on a three-part blog series. Each part stands on its own, but the sum is even greater than its parts. (I wrote the text; the presentation was determined by the website team. And although the byline is not officially mine, I am acknowledged as the primary author.)
