Renesas Electronics will spotlight cybersecurity capabilities for the connected cars with Fortinet at Accelerate 18, February 26-March 1, 2018, at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in Las Vegas.
Recent cyber breaches demonstrate the urgent need for integrated security for increasingly sophisticated vehicle networks to protect systems from attacks to electronically hack controlled vital functions, or for example, recent attacks on the CAN bus designed to interfere with the car’s brakes, door locks, and dashboard computer from 12 miles away. Fortinet will demonstrate a prototype security solution, highlighted with the Renesas autonomy™ Fleet, to address the major cybersecurity risks in today’s connected car network architecture.
The Renesas autonomy Cadillac SRX vehicle will showcase a video demonstration of Fortinet Security Fabric technology running on the Renesas R-Car H3 to provide security policy management and automated protection of the powertrain and communication domains in the vehicle.
This includes the LTE module, vehicle-to-vehicle communications module, the wireless access point, the engine control module and more.
Specific video demonstrations of mock IPS and DDoS cyberattacks will show how Fortinet FortiOS automatically secures the data transmitted from a public cloud service to the in-car entertainment system.
Supported by the on-chip security functions of the Renesas R-Car H3, Fortinet secures the communications between the domains and sets policies to limit access between certain domains to mitigate and control potential cyber threats.
A connected car is equipped with Internet access and a wireless local area network (LAN), allowing drivers to share Internet connectivity with other devices both inside and outside the vehicle. To provide suitable cyber protection and ensure consumer confidence, automobile manufacturers need to design and deploy technology with a security-first mindset.
