Securing Vehicles: New Shielded Test Chamber for Cybersecurity

article imageRemote attacks pose one of the greatest threats to vehicle cybersecurity. To verify whether a vehicle is sufficiently protected against such attacks, it must be isolated from the outside world. This allows self-generated radio signals to attempt to overcome the vehicle's protective functions. For this purpose, IAV has established a test chamber at the Gifhorn site that is hermetically shielded from radio networks.
