Automotive Cybersecurity Executives Roundtable
The automotive industry will undergo greater change in the next five years than in the previous fifty, as General Motors CEO Mary Barra suggested during her keynote speech at the first Billington Automotive Cybersecurity Summit in 2016. During this roundtable, you will hear from a distinguished panel of automotive cybersecurity executives from leading OEMs who are charting that future. A decade ago, many automotive companies treated cybersecurity as just another responsibility of the IT department. Today, an increasing number of leading automotive companies have added chief cybersecurity officers to their organizational chart with deep influence in the C-suite.

The Cyber Threat Landscape in the Automotive and Trucking Sector
What are the current and future cyber threats facing the auto and trucking sector? Where are these new threats coming from and what are the threat actors’ motivations? Could recent ransomware campaigns or other destructive malware attacks target cars and trucks? With a broad range of industry security vulnerabilities to worry about, where should precious resources be focused? Beyond the usual breaches of customer data and financial information, the auto sector must ensure passenger safety and system reliability while addressing diverse threats actors, including cyber criminals supported by nation states. During this panel, top cybersecurity experts from the public and private sectors will discuss the most pressing risks in vehicle security, and what the automotive industry should do about them.

Engaging the C-Suite: Cybersecurity as a Team Sport
This panel is off the record.
Building a strong cybersecurity operation is about more than overcoming the nefarious forces outside your organization. It’s also about looking inward to effectively engage your teammates, whether they work in IT, communications, legal, engineering or top management. Yet many companies struggle between the board of directors, the C-suite, and functional departments. In the automotive industry, there can also be struggles between automakers and their key partners, such as suppliers and dealers. The goal of this panel is to discuss best practices that can close these gaps and make cybersecurity a “team sport.”

Fireside Chat – Cybersecurity on a Global Scale
When cybersecurity first emerged as a priority in the automotive industry, most manufacturers placed it within the organization it was protecting: IT. Today, the cyber challenge extends beyond your IT infrastructure—there’s also a need for cybersecurity across product, cloud, joint ventures, and manufacturing. Cybersecurity needs to protect the whole business, because attackers seek out the weakest link to create the entry point into your ecosystem. Tackling ecosystem-wide cybersecurity will look different for different organizations, but it is increasingly essential. Jeffrey Massimilla, Vice President, Global Cybersecurity, General Motors, will share his experience leading GM’s journey to integrate cyber capabilities across the entire organization. Invited to join him is John Felker, Director, , Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Felker will bring his insights learned from running the cyber threat integration center for the Department of Homeland Security and engaging with partners in both the public and private sectors, enabling them to prepare for, prevent and respond to advanced cyber threats. He manages the NCCIC’s day-to-day cybersecurity information sharing, incident response and coordination functions. Joe White, Global Industry Editor, Autos, Reuters will lead this fireside chat you won’t want to miss.

Strengthening Every Link in the Automotive Supply Chain
A modern car has roughly 100 million lines of code. Automakers are responsible for the finished product, but they rely on contributions from hundreds of suppliers and grant access to thousands of franchised dealerships. Yet hackers do not see OEMs, suppliers, and dealers; they see a common attack surface. During this panel, cybersecurity experts will discuss ways to strengthen the entire automotive supply chain to resist security breaches.
Moderator:
- Dr. André Weimerskirch, Vice President, Cybersecurity and Functional Safety, Lear Corporation
Panelists:
- John Cotner, Security Architect – Automotive, NXP Semiconductors

Information Sharing–Moving From Implementation to Breakthrough Execution in Auto Cybersecurity
Even in the hyper-competitive automotive industry, a cyber-threat against one company is a cyber-threat against them all. This was the idea behind the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center, or Auto-ISAC, which launched in January 2016 as the cybersecurity information hub of the North American automotive industry. During this session, panelists will discuss the successes and continued challenges that the automotive industry has encountered through information sharing. Most importantly, how are Auto-ISAC members moving to deepen their situational awareness, building trust within the organization to enhance sharing, and working more closely in a highly competitive business environment.

The Future of Autonomous Vehicles and Cybersecurity
Autonomous is widely viewed as a key to the future of the auto and trucking sector. But for autonomous to succeed, cybersecurity must be an essential requirement; and trust must be built that the autonomous future is cyber-secure. What are the ways that OEMs and suppliers are building cybersecurity within tomorrow’s autonomous vehicles? What opportunities and challenges still exist? How are researchers and coordinated vehicle disclosure programs structured to enhance the cybersecurity of tomorrow’s AVs.

Congressional View on Auto Cybersecurity
In 2017, Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) co-introduced a bill called the American Vision for Safer Transportation through Advancement of Revolutionary Technologies (AV START) Act. Its goal was to advance testing and development of self-driving vehicles to help the United States remain at the forefront of innovation. Sen. Peters was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 after three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. He sits on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which has jurisdiction over automotive safety standards.
