By 2025, the world is expected to have more than 470 million smart vehicles . This number brings with it a global problem of cyber security. Since 2016, automotive cybersecurity incidents have increased 605%. It is expected that this year, attacks on smart cars will bring total losses of up to 505 billion USD.
A cybersecurity startup in Vietnam has spent many years finding a solution to this problem. Startup VinCSS has ventured into the field of cybersecurity for smart vehicles. In a series of recent events in Germany including the FIDO Munich Conference and the FIDO Roundtable on the automotive industry in front of hundreds of global technology leaders, VinCSS shared initiatives that significantly increase vehicle security. smart convenience.
VinCSS 's initiative takes advantage of the FIDO Device Onboarding (FDO) protocol developed by the FIDO Alliance (a technology alliance that provides stronger and more convenient authentication methods than traditional passwords). FDO will make the process of integrating IoT devices into smart cars simpler and more secure, ensuring that only authenticated entities can interact with devices and vehicles.
By establishing a secure environment, the FDO protocol protects smart vehicle software and data from tampering attacks or unauthorized changes. Thanks to that, hackers cannot decrypt or install malicious software, enhancing security for the entire supply chain throughout the life cycle of production, distribution and use of the vehicle.
This initiative of applying FDO to ensure security for smart car systems has attracted significant attention at events in Munich, Germany.
