The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes DENSO, AT&T, Infineon Technologies and Magna International as original equipment supplier members. The four new members are a product of Auto-ISAC's continued efforts to promote collaboration between Tier 1 suppliers and automobile manufacturers around vehicle cybersecurity.
"We look forward to working with Denso, AT&T, Infineon Technologies, and Magna to advance vehicle cybersecurity protections," said Jeff Massimilla of General Motors, who serves as the organization's Vice Chair. "Suppliers play a critical role in the design and engineering of secure connected vehicles. The addition of these four new members will help Auto-ISAC continue to support the industry's proactive efforts to incorporate strong security measures into every phase of vehicle development."
Auto-ISAC was formed in July 2015 in a collective effort by the auto industry to establish a secure platform for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence about cyber threats and potential vulnerabilities. Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub that allows members to anonymously submit and receive information to help them more effectively counter cyber threats in real time. Currently, Auto-ISAC members account for more than 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North America.
