Japanese industrial giants NTT Communications Corporation and Denso Corporation have decided to start a business "To respond to the threat of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks against vehicles."

The two companies have collaborated on vehicle security for a few years now, with NTT Communications bringing its consulting expertise around technologies such as networking, cloud computing, and managed infosec services such as building security operations centres for clients.

Vehicle monitoring and cyber-attack detection by automating the acquisition of log output from communications, connected servers, and security devices installed within vehicles.

Detection of cyber-attack trends along with the details of actual attacks against vehicles on an individual or fleet-wide basis.

Whatever the target market, we do know that the two companies believe the time is ripe for a VSCO service because "The number of vehicles facing threats from sophisticated cyber-attacks continues to grow."

The need for third party security services for cars is hard to dispute, as in these pages we have recently reported a Bluetooth hack that makes it easy to steal a Tesla, a horrid Hyundai hack, and a hopelessly insecure Honda.
