    Webinar Description

    The automotive industry is undergoing a paradigm shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), transforming cars into connected, software-centric ecosystems. This evolution brings unprecedented opportunities for innovation but also introduces significant cybersecurity and privacy challenges. With millions of lines of code, complex architectures, and continuous connectivity, vehicles face an expanding attack surface and growing regulatory scrutiny.

    This webinar explores the critical aspects of securing digital mobility, including DevSecOps and Shift-Left approaches, advanced testing techniques like fuzzing, and privacy-by-design concepts. I will also address emerging threats such as quantum computing risks to cryptography, AI vulnerabilities, and compliance with global regulations like GDPR and the EU Data Act. Attendees will gain insights into strategies for building resilient, privacy-aware systems and preparing for a quantum-ready future.
