What this episode examines

In this episode of Cybersecurity Under Pressure: real attacks, real lessons, we look at one of the weakest points in automotive cybersecurity: the gap between detection and decision-making.

A vehicle may report suspicious diagnostic behaviour. A backend may receive telemetry. A VSOC may flag an anomaly linked to connectivity, certificates, OTA, CAN traffic or unexpected service requests. The alert exists. But the real problem starts after that.

Who owns the next action?

Is it a cyber incident, a vulnerability, a supplier software defect, a quality issue or a false positive?

Which ECU, software version, backend service, vehicle programme or aftersales process is affected?
