Automotive Data Security in the Cloud

Strong data security in the cloud enables the automotive industry to offer efficiency, scalability, flexibility, productivity, and access to new and innovative technology.

Due to the emergence of a broader ecosystem and rapid advancements in autonomous, connected, electric, and shared technology, automotive OEMs production has been slowing down in recent years. Cloud technology is now heavily integrated into operations to boost emerging business models and fulfillfast-evolving consumer behavior. It also helps to reduce costs, increase agility and enhance scalability for the vehicles of the future.

However, like the cloud size, the attack surfaces are also expanding. Attackers can target cloud platforms causing data loss, breaches, vehicle hacking, and jeopardizing production, for example. This forces the automotive industry to have robust cloud data security.

Cloud data security can be achieved with various methods that allow users to control their sensitive data entirely or partially, whether data is at rest, in motion, within the vehicle, or in the production environment.

Applications for Automotive Data Security in the Cloud

Double Key Encryption

Enables protection of sensitive data by securing encryption keys in the HSM and Azure cloud. Without access to both keys, the relevant data remains securely encrypted.

Multi-Cloud Key Management

A bring-your-own-key strategy (BYOK) allows to securely orchestrate services and data flows across multiple clouds and countries, including customers' local data centers.

General Purpose Hardware Security Modules

Enables key generation, storage, and exchange. Addresses various performance levels and physical security requirements while fulfilling compliance and regulatory mandates.

BYOK and HYOK

Select the key management solution by hosting encryption keys in the cloud provider’s platform or retaining the ownership control of customer-managed encryption keys.
