- Upstream launches GenAI tool to combat growing vehicle cyber attacks
- New report reveals increasing sophistication and number of cyberattacks on automotive and smart mobility
It’s becoming more alarming for drivers as the rise of cybercriminals targeting vehicles’ electronics for personal and financial information theft. Upstream Security’s report highlights a significant increase in cybersecurity incidents in the automotive industry, especially focusing on attack vectors like telematics and cloud data. To combat these threats, Upstream has introduced the GenAI tool, Ocean AI, to monitor and analyze potential cyber threats in real-time, allowing for quick and efficient remediation efforts in minutes.
With the use of generative artificial intelligence, Upstream aims to stay ahead of cybercriminals who also leverage AI to enhance their attacks. The GenAI tool can predict potential impacts of cyber incidents on a large scale, providing a proactive approach to cybersecurity in the ever-evolving automotive industry. Upstream’s CEO also raises concerns about the increasing presence of Chinese-made vehicles and the potential data privacy issues they may pose, prompting the need for advanced cybersecurity measures like GenAI.
