This Virtual Conference will provide insight into the latest thinking and experiences from leading cross-industry players

At the AESIN Security Conferences in 2019 and 2020 Industry and Academia combined to set out the Cyber resilience challenge facing the automotive industry as we transition to greater autonomy, ever increasing levels of connectivity and vehicle system complexity. To outline an approach and to ask for your help in understanding how to operationalise Cyber Resilience, what research could be repurposed to kick start a solution, and how to meet and where necessary influence our regulatory obligations.

Now in 2021 we’re back to explain and debate what, with your help, we have done to refine the approach and to demonstrate its technical and economic feasibility at scale.

Hosted by Peter Davies, Director Security Concepts, this Virtual Conference will provide insight into the latest thinking and experiences from leading cross-industry players, considering topics such as skills requirements, digital trust, secure architecture, cryptographic keys/authentication, robustness – resilient application interfaces and remote updates/access/firmware OTA (over-the-air).

In three sessions we will cover:

Operationalising Cyber Resilience engineering
Cyber Resilience legal and insurance
3rd party access, data and software implants, developing the EcoSystem
