Seqrite, the enterprise arm of Quick Heal Technologies Ltd, has released the ‘India Cyber Threat Report,’ highlighting the automotive supply chain as the most cyberattacked sector. The report, produced in collaboration with Seqrite Labs and the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), indicates a significant increase in cyberattacks on the automotive sector in 2023. These attacks targeted supply chains within the industry, surpassing those on government agencies and the education sector. The automotive supply chain is noted for its complexity, involving interconnected systems and a wide range of components and software.
This complexity introduces vulnerabilities that present challenges for cybersecurity efforts. Factors such as legacy systems, lack of standardization, and varying terminology across companies further complicate the cybersecurity landscape in the automotive supply chain. Seqrite recommends a multi-layered security approach to address these cyber risks. This approach includes perimeter defenses, network segmentation, robust authentication protocols, and continuous monitoring.
Additionally, fostering a culture of cybersecurity, promoting collaboration and information sharing, adhering to compliance and regulatory standards, and adopting emerging technologies are vital for enhancing cybersecurity in the automotive supply chain. Seqrite calls on all stakeholders in the automotive industry, including manufacturers, sellers, consumers, suppliers, and repairers, to prioritize cybersecurity and work together for a more secure future.
