Security News > 2021 > February > Top 5 security risks to connected cars, according to Trend Micro
Analysts from Trend Micro rate DDoS attacks and electronic jamming as some of the highest cybersecurity risks for connected cars.
A new report from Trend Micro analyzes a day in the travels of a connected car to identify the cyberattacks most likely to succeed.
"Cybersecurity for Connected Cars: Exploring Risks in 5G, Cloud and Other Connected Technologies" puts the overall risk at medium.
Among the millions of endpoints in a connected car's ecosystem, analysts found 29 potential cybersecurity attack vectors and ranked five as the highest risks.
The authors note that all these network-centric applications create new attack surfaces in connected cars.
The analysts applied DREAD threat modeling to connected cars and its ecosystem to identify the most serious and most likely security threats.
