Concerns about automotive cyber security have been raised since automakers began outfitting cars and trucks with computer-controlled systems. Yoni Heilbronn, the vice president of marketing at Argus Cyber Security, an automotive security company, said: “The equation is very simple. “Very slim.”The WikiLeaks CIA documents did not appear to offer details on how the agency intended to hack into vehicles. In 2015, auto industry players created the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center to swap information about cyber security threats and how to combat them. As Heilbronn points out, car security is not like picking out Norton or McAfee anti-virus software for your laptop.
