38、utomotive and Smart Mobility ecosystem over the past several yearsenabling over-the-air(OTA)updates,software-oriented architectures,advanced digital experience,and a wide array of value-added applications and services.In modern software-defined vehicles(SDVs),connectivity is used to improve and upgr

39、ade vehicles throughout their life cycle,generate revenue from a wide range of feature-on-demand services,and offer innovative data-driven customer experience,ultimately creating deeper and longer relationships with customers.In connected vehicles,OEMs use OTA updates to fix quality and usability is

40、sues,tune core functional capabilities,and patch cybersecurity vulnerabilities quickly and cost-effectively,reducing warranty costs and recalls.But connectivity has also posed growing cybersecurity challenges for OEMs and their supply chainswith cyber attacks becoming more sophisticated,frequent,and

41、 severe.As the attack landscape changed over the last few years,and new attack methods emerged,the industry became acutely aware that any point of connectivity can be attacked.The first decade of automotive cybersecurity was marked by a rise in cyber incidents and attacks against OEMs and the ecosys

42、tem,continuously introducing new attack vectors and methods,even as OEMs invested in improving cybersecurity protections.According to Upstreams research,between 2019-2023,incidents disclosed in the clear web(media)have increased by over 50%,reaching 295 reported incidents in 2023.In 2023 alone,95%of

43、 attacks were remote,and 64%of attacks were executed by black hat actors.3 Application programming interfaces(APIs)have been playing a key role in exposing vehicle functionality to drivers and enterprise applications,as well as delivering a data-driven experience.As more functionality has been expos

44、ed through APIs,cybersecurity risks have also increased dramatically,while at the same time,the cost of attacking and attack thresholds have decreasedopening the door for exponential growth in the scale and impact of attacks.In this years report,we chose to zoom in on the impact of automotive and mo

58、the number of Medium scale attacks,which have the potential to impact up to 1,000 vehicles and mobility assets,has remained constant over the last three years.But the number of low-scale attacks has gone down dramatically in 2023 due to the emergence of new attack vectors that enable hackers to gain

59、 control over many more vehicles and assets with lower thresholds of knowledge and resources.To illustrate the operational disruption impact of cyber attacks on mobility service providers consider an attack which occurred in September 2023.A leading US-based trucking and fleet management solutions p

74、nor customer information were affected by the cyber incident at its supplier.The company also immediately terminated its data exchange with this supplier following the incident.In November 2023,a large Australian automotive group with 12 dealerships and hundreds of employees was attacked by the same

100、ting to a multifaceted approach to protecting connected and software-defined vehicles.Connected vehicle digital experience and data-driven features are made possible by connected components,remote control,and the APIs that support them.Continuous OTA updates enable OEMs to roll out new features and

101、functionality,and patch bugs.The result is the emergence of the dynamic Software Bill of Materials(SBOM).As the SBOM continuously changes,it constantly requires risk and vulnerability analysis,directly impacting OEM and the supply chain cybersecurity frameworks and processes.The internal impact:the

102、dynamic SBOM The convergence of technologies known collectively as ACESAutonomous Driving,Connectivity,Electrification,and Shared Mobilityhas forced stakeholders to move from the traditional hardware-defined architecture to a software-oriented architecture.The Automotive and Smart Mobility ecosystem

103、 acknowledges that connected and software-defined vehicles are the key to competitiveness,customer experience,operational efficiencies and future data-driven revenue streams.New research released by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group(BCG)estimates that the emergen

104、ce of SDVs will create over$650 billion in value for the auto industry by 2030,making up 15%to 20%of automotive value.OEM revenues from automotive software and electronics will grow nearly three-fold between now and 2030,from$87 billion to$248 billion,according to a BCG analysis of SDV growth.19Whil

105、e connectivity and SDVs present significant benefits,they also presents growing cybersecurity challenges for OEMs and the entire supply chain.The distinction between hardware and software product development has become blurred,as more in-vehicle components are enabled and managed by software-oriente

106、d architectures.The decoupling of the vehicle development process from a vehicles hardware and software integration creates a very complex and decentralized supply chain with the OEM at the center of system integration.OEM REVENUES FROM AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE AND ELECTRONICS WILL GROW NEARLY THREE-FOLD

107、 BETWEEN NOW AND 2030,FROM$87 BILLION TO$248 BILLION,ACCORDING TO A BCG ANALYSIS OF SDV GROWTH.22 2024 Upstream Security Ltd.All Rights ReservedThe Hardware Bill of Materials(HBOM)is a product development technical document that details the hardware components used to build a vehiclesuch as ECUs,TCU

109、nstalled on a hardware component and the vehicle.Together,the HBOM and SBOM provide a comprehensive view of the supply chains,facilitating transparency and traceability to address hardware and software vulnerabilities.With frequent OTA updates,the SBOM is no longer staticbut rather constantly evolvi

110、ng long after a vehicle leaves the factoryand risk profiles continuously change,but they can be remediated in real time as well.Furthermore,modern SDV HBOMs and SBOMs go beyond in-vehicle components to include charging points and networks,as well as 3rd-party applications for smart mobility,OEM serv

111、ices,telematics devices,and electric vehicle(EV)chargingadding even more complexity.Recent regulatory efforts,including UNECE WP.29 R15520 and R15621,ISO/SAE 2143422,the US National Highway Traffic Administration(NHTSA)guidelines23,and recent regulations in China24,have mandated SBOM adoption in the

112、 Automotive industry.These regulations broaden the scope of SBOM to encompass not only OEM-developed software,but also Tier-1 and Tier-2 components and librariesgiving OEMs the ability to identify and manage software-related vulnerabilities and risks.The ability to manipulate software components and

113、 exploit vulnerabilities poses a significant threat to the cybersecurity posture of fleet-wide control systems.By exploiting SBOM-related vulnerabilities,attackers can gain unauthorized access to critical functions and control mechanisms across entire fleets of vehicles.Furthermore,the vast amounts

114、of data generated by software components,and stored in backend systems,presents an additional risk.Backend systems(e.g.,telematics servers)play a crucial role in delivering advanced connected vehicle functions and services,as well as collecting and managing huge amounts of sensitive data related to

115、vehicle state,location,usage patterns,and driver behavior.Attackers can tap into this data,which contains PII of millions of automotive users,without even needing to hack the actual vehicles themselves.The threat of cyber attacks on backend servers is particularly high because of the ability of mali

116、cious threat actors to impact entire fleets,both in terms of control and data access.23 2024 Upstream Security Ltd.All Rights ReservedThe growing reliance on these backend systems highlights the urgent need for OEMs to safeguard both the software components and the sensitive data stored in their bac
