Explore the critical intersection of cybersecurity and safety in software-defined vehicles (SDVs) through this 47-minute conference talk that addresses the growing security challenges as vehicles evolve from "cars with apps" to "software on wheels." Learn how modern SDVs containing over 100 million lines of code across more than 100 applications create expanded attack surfaces that directly impact vehicle safety, with particular focus on memory-based vulnerabilities in C/C++ code used in vehicle embedded systems that cybercriminals actively target. Discover strategies for balancing safety, security, and innovation to meet growing market demand for SDVs, including deploying runtime memory protection within resource-constrained Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), implementing memory safety without source code modifications, protecting vehicles throughout their lifecycle including aftermarket modifications and secondary lifecycle challenges, and integrating memory protection with broader security frameworks like AUTOSAR and ISO 26262. Gain valuable insights into how memory protection technology serves as a key security layer to enhance vehicle safety while enabling continued innovation, presented by RunSafe Security Founder & CEO Joseph Saunders, who leads a team of former national security cyber experts working with organizations including Lockheed Martin, GE Vernova, Vertiv, and various US military branches to identify software supply chain risks, prevent embedded system exploitation, and monitor software for compromise indicators and bugs.
