Trillium is a Japan-based automotive security company. On this page they give the dimensions of the problem:
- 200,000,000 Cars at risk by 2020
- 120,000,00 Lines of Code in Average Connected Car
- 20,000 Bugs in Average Connected Car
- 13,000 Security Bugs in Average Connected Car
(Doing the math: that’s one bug per 600 lines of code, and almost all are security bugs. The bug count may be too low and the security bug count may be too high. But never mind)
The go on:
Within minutes a hacker can easily breach the traditional security measures of nearly any modern car. Once a hacker has access to a computerised vehicle travelling at 100km/h including control of steering, brakes, ignition and locks, the threat to human life and public safety cannot be underestimated. Security breaches are exploited for various nefarious purposes including information theft, vehicle theft, stalking, espionage and other illegal activities potentially including terrorism.
We at Trillium are deeply concerned that human lives and public safety remain at risk.
And then the pitch
Our SecureIoT suite is focused on effectively addressing the threats of today and tomorrow as they emerge.
