Securing The Software-Defined Vehicle Starts With Re-Architecting Trust

The automotive industry is being rebuilt around software. Architectures built on dozens of distributed ECUs are giving way to centralized and zonal compute platforms. Functions that once ran on dedicated hardware now share the same SoC. Software updates are no longer occasional events tied to recalls. They happen continuously, over the air, across the vehicle’s lifetime. This is what the software-defined vehicle looks like in practice. Fewer chips, more consolidation, and far more dependence on
