PRESENTATION:\
The emergence of connected cars ushered in unprecedented technological advancements in the automotive industry. With these advancements, however, also come new forms of vulnerabilities that, in recent times, cybercriminals have become more adept and brazen at exploiting.\
Traditional approaches to managing these vulnerabilities have been mostly reactive. These usually involve the time-consuming tasks of detecting a critical software bug, for example, and then scrambling for and iteratively testing a potential fix. By the time a fix is deployed to exposed vehicles, it might already be too late, as a new threat could be lurking just around the corner.\
Virtual patches have proved to be successful where these traditional approaches have failed. These have been deployed as emergency band-aid solutions to provide temporary fixes to both known and unknown vulnerabilities, thereby buying car OEMs more time in finding and testing a more permanent solution.\
We explore how virtual patches can go beyond being band-aid fixes and become part of a more comprehensive cybersecurity strategy instead — one that can provide robust immunity to a connected vehicle throughout its life cycle.\
PRESENTERS:\
Dipl. Inf. (FH) Gregor Knappik\
Gregor works as Cybersecurity Solutions Architect at VicOne, a Trend Micro subsidiary. He built his expertise in the integration of large-scale embedded software projects using state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions over the past 15 years. Recently, he has been helping OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers build up a VSOC, an IDPS, and a vulnerability management system to prevent the exploitation of potential vulnerabilities in the SBOM. He has also been supporting them in their UN Regulation No. 155 and ISO/SAE 21434 compliance journeys.\
He holds a certificate in Automotive Cybersecurity Professional – Advanced Level Engineering with TÜV Rheinland Certified Qualification.\
