Cybersecurity in Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Systems

Cybersecurity in Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Systems is a 3-day specialized program focuses on vulnerabilities in autonomous and semi-autonomous systems, embedded systems, tools, techniques, strategies and procedures to analyze and design. This training also explores how manufacturers, suppliers and authorities can detect and respond to cyberattacks, unauthorized intrusions and false and spurious messages or vehicle control demands.

Case studies and workshops will teach techniques and methodologies for assessing risk, reverse engineering, analyzing and integrating defensive tools for mitigating risk throughout the acquisition and product life cycle. Also, participants will be introduced to modern automotive in-vehicle communication networks, the CAN communications protocol and the OBD-II interface threat models, hacking into the OBD-II diagnostics interface, ECU cracking and vehicle network cyber penetration testing. The course will cover existing in-vehicle communication protocols and associated vulnerabilities as well as the limitations of existing digital forensics.
