Building Secure Vehicular Software - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Software plays an expanding and critical role in the success of future vehicles such as automobiles and trucks. Novel technologies that depend on the flexibility of software create new vulnerabilities and new ways to attack systems. This talk explores the expanding landscape of vulnerabilities that accompany the increasing reliance on software and then examines some key steps to help mitigate the increased risk: development of appropriate requirements from an analysis of risks, techniques that can be applied during development, and evaluation approaches for existing systems. The talk will conclude with a view of emerging approaches to further improve the delivery and sustainment of such critical software.
