Using recent real-world stories, Eystein Stenberg, CTO at Mender.io, will discuss the opportunity of connected cars and walk the audience through the following:

** Key opportunities OEM’s have for connected vehicles, as demonstrated by Tesla’s ability to provide over-the-air (OTA) software updates
** The anatomy of the Jeep Cherokee hack: the technical details of how the Jeep Cherokee was hacked and steps you can take to reduce your attack surface
** Best practices on delivering over-the-air software updates with failover management.

We will then transition to the security risks associated with connected cars, detailing what Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek revealed in the Jeep Cherokee hack which gave them remote control of the car.. We will delve into the technical details of this attack and provide specific security strategies.
