FEATURE: MAGAZINE LAUNCH

Keeping an eye on
future threats
With the advent of the Internet of Things,
it’s not just computers that need protection.
Cybersecurity firms are now working to
protect ‘things’ like cars that were never
previously under threat from cybercriminals.
For example, Panasonic Corporation
and Trend Micro are jointly developing a
cybersecurity solution to detect and prevent
cyberattacks against autonomous and
connected cars. The partnership aims to
develop a solution to detect and prevent
intrusions into Electronic Control Units
(ECUs) that control driving behaviour such as
acceleration, steering and braking, as well as
in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices.
The risks of hackers taking control of steering
and braking systems in connected cars are real.
And new security vulnerabilities are discovered
every day and they pose a risk for remote
exploitation. It is therefore more important
than ever to not only implement security
measures in each vehicle but also to analyse
new attacks by constantly monitoring in-
vehicle systems from the cloud and utilise the
results to implement countermeasures against
cyberattacks to all vehicles. This partnership
will leverage Panasonic’s Control Area Network
(CAN) intrusion detection and prevention
technology and Trend Micro IoT Security.
THE MAGAZINE WILL INCLUDE DETAILED
ANALYSIS FROM INDUSTRY EXPERTS,
THE LATEST NEWS FROM AROUND THE
REGIONS, AS WELL AS GO PHISH, A LIGHT-
HEARTED LOOK AT THE PERSONALITIES
MAKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES IN
THE SECURITY INDUSTRY.
Intelligent CISO will help guide you through
them. For instance, Sophos has recently
announced Sophos Home Premium with
ransomware protection. as it delivers proactive, real-time protection for
consumers from the latest malicious software
and hacking attempts and includes privacy
protection features.
This features advanced anti-ransomware
capabilities that can quickly detect previously
unknown ransomware. This is a product that
goes beyond the traditional antivirus features Sophos Home Premium is capable of
protecting both PCs and Macs and can
enable the management of up to 10 other
computers all from one central dashboard.

Panasonic’s technology will be able to detect
any unauthorised commands sent to ECUs
that control driving operations, while Trend
Micro IoT Security, which utilises Trend Micro’s
global security intelligence and expertise such
as malware analysis, will be implemented on
IVI devices such as automotive navigation
systems to detect attacks that seek to exploit
vulnerabilities through the Internet. Through
this partnership, events identified by both
technologies will be collected and sent to an
analysis platform in the cloud to detect and
block suspicious traffic.
The overall development will enable the
provision of solutions including in-vehicle and
cloud systems to prevent cyberattacks against
autonomous and connected cars. Panasonic
and Trend Micro will be working jointly on the
development and aim to launch commercially
after 2020. Developments in the cybersecurity
of Internet of Things devices are just one of
the many trends you can keep up-to-date
with in Intelligent CISO. n
