<\/figure><\/div>\n\nIT Security from an External Perspective: Automotive Suppliers in Germany<\/h3>\n
The structural change in the automotive industry is gaining momentum. Electromobility, car sharing, connected vehicles and autonomous driving are megatrends that are increasingly enriching our everyday mobile lives. However, the networking that goes hand in hand with this - be it user interfaces, cars, production routes or supply chains - harbors considerable risks. Espionage, sabotage, data theft and ransomware pose new challenges for manufacturers as well as component and system suppliers, as they require a holistic IT security approach. The importance attached to cybersecurity in this industry is confirmed by internationally valid UNECE regulations and the industry-specific adaptation of ISO standard 27001 by the TISAX standard for information security in the automotive sector.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span>Our analysis of 252 automotive suppliers showed that there has been visible progress with regard to software updates and the accessibility of system interfaces. However, there is still a clear need for action with regard to the security of data transmission. <\/span>Data collection was done by gathering and processing information from publicly available sources.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe Results in Detail<\/h3>\n
Fifty-two percent of the major cities checked sent email partially unprotected (without an SPF record), making it easier for attackers to launch spam and phishing attacks through mail forgery.<\/p>\n
The fact that not all database systems belonging to the company were adequately protected against cyber attacks was revealed by 41 percent. Unsecured systems that can be accessed from outside make it easier for hackers to gain access to sensitive data.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>87 percent allowed data transmission with outdated transport encryption, which encourages data theft.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>At least one application with a potential security vulnerability of high criticality was found in 29 percent. Applications with missing security updates are a welcome gateway for attackers.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>45 percent of major cities used tracking cookies without user permission. In these cases, warnings and fines can threaten.<\/p>\nGain Insight into Your Organization's External IT Attack Surface<\/h3>\n
