Exploring Secure Development Processes for Automotive IoT

While automotive Internet of Things (IoT) applications can bring added benefits to users and auto manufacturers, the deployment of such applications also brings new security considerations.

If these applications do not include proper security solutions or do not follow best practices for secure development, there is a risk of successful cybersecurity attacks, which could have disastrous consequences. Therefore, it is imperative for automotive organizations to understand what those risks are and how to address them appropriately.

To that end, in this chapter, we will first provide an overview of cybersecurity threats applicable to the automotive IoT use cases and explain the need for cybersecurity and why automotive organizations need to establish a secure development process.

We will then review secure development processes and frameworks divided into the vehicle side as well as the non-vehicle side including the backend...
