CONNECTED TRUCKS & CIBERSECURITY THREAT * USA

* California - Long-haul trucking connectivity brings hacking risks

... Each gadget that is installed in the cab or under the hood potentially expands the number of targets for a global army of hackers who are increasingly sophisticated and well-funded. There are sensors in the engines to monitor performance and anticipate mechanical problems. Video systems help drivers avoid collisions and provide warnings. Awareness systems look for signs of driver fatigue... However, these systems are sending more and more data over the air. Each device and service increases the “surface area” for a hacker to find a way into a truck, security experts told Trucks.com...  Much of the work ahead is going to be tough. The industry has about 500,000 firms, and 94 percent have six or fewer trucks. When the ATA polled members about top concerns, the most immediate worries remain the traditional ones, such as the industry’s driver shortage and retention rates. But when these companies do start thinking about new technologies, the people handling those decisions are going to be stretched thin...
