Today’s vehicles are increasingly “connected”; there is wireless data exchange with servers, infrastructure and other vehicles. Tomorrow’s vehicles will be automated and autonomous, capable of sensing their environment and navigating through cities without human interference. Therefore, connected and autonomous vehicles come with the cost of a new set of threats pertaining to higher risks of cyber-attacks. A cyber-attack in a Connected Vehicle (CV) can yield high recall costs, loss of property and even jeopardise human safety. Therefore, the need for cyber protection of CVs is becoming paramount. nIoVe introduces a holistic and multi-layered cybersecurity solution for the Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV) by addressing secure-by-design aspects of CVs, along with cyber protection, threat response and attack recovery at vehicle, infrastructure and service/application layer of the whole IoV ecosystem at complex use cases.
