Automakers Urged to Strengthen Cybersecurity
Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) 40-day cyber shutdown has highlighted the need for automakers to strengthen their IT and factory security to prevent costly production disruptions.
The shutdown, which cost the company an estimated £2 billion ($2.67 billion) in lost revenue, has prompted security experts to warn that automakers worldwide must assess and strengthen their IT and operational technology systems.
The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) creates significant risk.
- Legacy systems, often decades old, pose a significant threat when integrated into modern vehicle production.
- Proactive cybersecurity can avert large-scale shutdowns like the one JLR experienced.
Automakers must rethink how to secure their systems to prevent similar catastrophic disruptions.
