Washington, DC – March 5, 2024 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC), announced that Amazon and PHINIA have joined as new members, bringing the total number of members to 77.
Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center is a hub for the automotive industry to collaborate on cybersecurity issues. Its key functions are:
• Information Sharing: They provide a secure platform for car manufacturers, suppliers, and commercial vehicle companies to anonymously share information about cyber threats, potential vulnerabilities in vehicles, and best practices for keeping cars secure.
• Threat Analysis: Auto-ISAC works together to analyze the shared information on cyber threats. This helps them understand the evolving landscape of vehicle cybersecurity and identify potential risks before they become widespread problems.
• Collaboration: They aim to foster global collaboration between different stakeholders in the automotive industry. This collaborative approach helps to improve overall vehicle cybersecurity and create a safer connected vehicle ecosystem. (~Gemini, Google)
“We are proud that leading companies in their fields are joining the Auto-ISAC, where sharing information and proven solutions is an everyday priority. Everyone who joins the Auto-ISAC wants to actively learn from others within our community, where the ability to call global manufacturers and service providers directly to discuss a range of cybersecurity topics benefits the entire automotive industry,” said Kevin Tierney, Chair, Auto-ISAC, and Chief Cybersecurity Officer at General Motors.
“Amazon’s participation in the Auto-ISAC reinforces our commitment to automotive cybersecurity as an essential part of our work with automotive customers across the vehicle journey through research and analytics, customer experiences, innovation, and the development of new features and services, such as securely integrating AI capabilities running in the vehicle and in the cloud,” said Wendy Bauer, Vice President and General Manager of Automotive & Manufacturing at AWS. “As the industry transitions to more software-defined experiences, safety and security is more important than ever. Connecting with automaker and Tier-1 security experts across the Auto-ISAC community will help us all engage faster. This will result in improvements to standards and practices and ultimately make the vehicle a more secure environment.”
Amazon teams will collaborate with Auto-ISAC members. This collaboration aims to help remain up to date on automotive vehicle cybersecurity, including potential threats and vulnerabilities. They will also help shape the industry’s path to a software-defined future. They will also work with Amazon to explore best practices for secure-by-design in-vehicle infotainment solutions. Moreover, these solutions integrate AI and are capable of running in the cloud or at the edge. More broadly, Amazon continues to dive deep with customers and industry partners to build and deliver innovative solutions for the automotive industry.
The Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers in August 2015 to establish a global information-sharing community to address vehicle cybersecurity. The Auto-ISAC operates a central hub for sharing, tracking, and analyzing intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks. Its secure intelligence-sharing portal allows members to anonymously submit information. Moreover, this helps them more effectively respond to cyber threats by receiving relevant data.
The Auto-ISAC offers resources for its community of cyber professionals. These include educational programs, Best Practices, a monthly community call, an annual Summit in both the United States and Europe, analytic reports, and more.
The Auto-ISAC also provides opportunities for different disciplines and function areas to collaborate on shared priorities. The Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) Working Group creates a forum for technical experts. Moreover, they share actionable intelligence regarding cybersecurity challenges, threats, and risk mitigation methods. This aims to build the resiliency of the connected vehicle. Working Groups for CISO Executives and for Analysts address their specific agendas on a bi-weekly basis. And, the Commercial Vehicle Affinity Group, the Supplier Affinity Group, and the Japan Working Group meet monthly.
