BlackBerry release guidelines to accelerate connected car security

BlackBerry is aiming to address connected car security concerns with a framework intended to harden them against cyber-attacks. Connected cars herald an era where you no longer just have to protect them from being physically broken into, but also hacked into. Compromised vehicles could pose a threat to safety through remote control, or be used to access sensitive data such as location. I’ve covered hacks of connected cars on several occasions; including a Tesla being hacked for a second year by the same researchers. That case joined high-profile incidents with other leading automotive manufacturers including Jeep and Mitsubishi.
