HERZLIYA, Israel, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Upstream Security, a leading provider of cloud-based automotive cybersecurity solutions, today released its 2021 Global Automotive Cybersecurity Report.

HERZLIYA, Israel, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Upstream Security, a leading provider of cloud-based automotive cybersecurity solutions, today released its 2021 Global Automotive Cybersecurity Report. The annual report shares in-depth insights and analysis derived by analyzing 633 publicly reported automotive cyber incidents spanning the last decade, highlighting vulnerabilities and threats identified during 2020.

For the first-time-ever, the annual report offers an in-depth mapping of all 2020 automotive cyber incidents to the threats listed in the UNECE WP.29 regulation as well as an analysis of the risk levels of specific incidents as required by the ISO/SAE 21434 regulation. The report also includes an inaugural segment focused on non-disclosed automotive-related cyber incidents discovered throughout the deep and dark web.

2020 has been a year of disruption in the automotive industry, both because of COVID-19 and the new automotive cybersecurity standards and regulations. The rising number of connected vehicles increases the entry points and vulnerabilities that hackers can leverage, and the ever-growing automotive cyber threat landscape continues to develop.

«With the continued rise of cyber attacks against the automotive industry and the regulatory requirements that were developed in response, now more than ever, automotive stakeholders must take heed of the cyber threat landscape,» said Oded Yarkoni, Upstream Security’s VP of Marketing. «Knowing and assessing automotive cyber threats both on the surface and on the deep and dark web is the first step in developing an effective cybersecurity management system and complying with the cybersecurity demands of both regulators and consumers.»

Upstream’s 2021 Global Automotive Cybersecurity Report introduces key findings of the Upstream AutoThreat Intelligence research team as well as cybersecurity recommendations for automotive stakeholders:

  • Connected vehicles are here to stay: The rising number of connected vehicles leads to increased vulnerabilities and entry points for hackers to leverage; more than 200 automotive cyber incidents were publicly reported in 2020 alone.
  • Most automotive cyber hacks were carried out by hackers with malicious intent: In 2020, 54.6% of hacks were carried out by black-hat hackers to disrupt business, steal property, and demand ransom. 39.1% of hacks were committed by white-hat hackers and researchers, including those as part of an automotive bug-bounty program.
  • There was a growth of servers targeted in 2020: The three most common attack vectors over the last decade were servers, keyless entry systems, and mobile apps, with a 73% growth in server attacks in 2020. All three top attack vectors are attacked remotely, and as seen in 2020, 77.8% of all incidents were remote attacks.
  • The number of automotive-related CVEs is growing: To date, there have been 110 CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) related to the automotive industry, 33 in 2020 compared to 24 in 2019.
  • Theft of data and vehicles were among the top impacts of cyber attacks in 2020: 36% of incidents in 2020 involved data and privacy breaches, and 28% of incidents involved thefts or break-ins.
  • Standards and regulations indicate an industry-wide recognition of cyber threats: When mapping cyber incidents from 2020 to threats indicated by the UNECE WP.29 regulation, 89.9% of incidents related to threats to vehicles regarding their communication channels and 86.7% related to threats to vehicle data/code, the top two threat categories.
  • While COVID-19 slowed down many automotive operations, cyber attacks were on the rise: OEMs and automotive suppliers were prime targets during the pandemic, with a cyber attack even shutting down a major OEM. The pandemic also led to factory closures, assembly-line shutdowns, supply chain interruptions, and even some OEMs pivoting their activities altogether.
  • The deep and dark web contains a noticeable amount of automotive-related hacks and threats: The most frequent and significant automotive hacks discussed on the deep and dark web include ECU tuning, infotainment hacking, selling stolen identities to access OEM and smart-mobility accounts, and leaking automotive source code or data.
  • Automotive cybersecurity has been recognized as vital: The automotive cybersecurity market is expected to grow over the next decade, with OEMs recognizing that security-by-design, automotive cyber threat intelligence, and a well-established VSOC (vehicle SOC) with an integrated cybersecurity solution is integral to the safety and security of their vehicles and assets.

Discover Puerto Rico Provides Gift Givers The Opportunity To Adopt A Coquí And Give Back To Nature This Holiday Season

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Discover Puerto Rico, the Island’s Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), in partnership with local environmental research and conservation organization, <a target="_blank"…

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Discover Puerto Rico, the Island’s Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), in partnership with local environmental research and conservation organization, Conservación ConCiencia, invites everyone to give the gift of nature and Adopt a Coquí this holiday season, supporting Puerto Rico’s vast natural resources. A symbol of Puerto Rico worldwide, the coquí is a species of frog endemic to the nature-rich Island, and heartfully named for the sound they make. Pent-up travelers staying safe at home during this time, but thinking about their first trip in 2021, can support global conservation while virtually learning and dreaming of a destination filled with natural wonders, and more.

By visiting DiscoverPuertoRico.com/coquí and making a donation of $25 USD, coquí gift recipients will receive a digital keepsake adoption certificate with their name on it for the contribution to supporting conservation, sustainability, and climate resilience efforts by Conservación ConCiencia.

«We’re inviting future travelers to be inspired by our natural offerings in a safe and responsible way as many are dreaming about their first trip when the time is right,» said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico. «While Puerto Rico is ensuring the safety of residents and travelers alike and only recommending essential travel at this time, Adopt a Coquí gives the gift of hope during this holiday season, supporting conservation efforts in Puerto Rico and felt globally.»

Today’s traveler mindset has shifted, and as they look toward a safer time, many are leaning towards ways to be more mindful and create meaningful experiences. Besides spending time with loved ones, getting away from crowds and enjoying nature are highest priority among future travelers, according to a study by Destination Analysts.  

Home to unique habitats like rainforests, pink salt flats, underground caves and more, Puerto Rico is the ideal place to connect with nature in 2021. And Adopt a Coquí supports the little frogs that impact the Island’s ecosystem, that although protected, are also at risk due to loss of habitat and climate change. A cultural symbol in Puerto Rico since the times of the original indigenous Taino inhabitants, the coquís’ home can be found primarily in el bosque, or forest, such like El Yunque National Rainforest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. With 17 different species that inhabit Puerto Rico, when the sun goes down, male coquís begin singing their song that gives them their name (Co-Kee, Co-Kee) until dawn. 

«Maintaining our natural habitats and ecosystems is imperative for both local and global impact,» said Raimundo Espinoza, Founder of Conservación ConCiencia. «By implementing effective, science-based conservation initiatives, we help save our local marine resources and wildlife, including protecting our naturally unique coquís here in Puerto Rico, while moving societies towards sustainability.»

For those looking for travel ideas and inspiration, and to learn more about the breadth of natural and outdoor adventure offerings in Puerto Rico, Discover Puerto Rico just launched Sounds like Puerto Rico, a five-episode series that explores the jargon and natural sounds that make up the Island’s unique culture. The first episode transports travelers to El Yunque National Rainforest and other episodes will educate people about Puerto Rico’s coffee culture, surfing, birdwatching and the history of reggaeton.

While the coquís serenade is best enjoyed in person, this holiday season, families can transport themselves virtually into the story of «From Boriquén to Bethlehem: A Coquí and the Three Wise Men,» which is a fun bilingual rhyming children’s book of a magical coquí who traveled with a young Puerto Rican girl and the Magi to the first Christmas. For families looking to keep the Three Kings tradition alive for present and future generation, they can purchase the book and support local small businesses by visiting https://bit.ly/34bf9qd.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Vayyar, the global leader in 4D imaging radar technology, is transforming automotive safety with its production-ready Radar-on-Chip (RoC) platform, which enables OEMs to achieve leading-edge vehicle safety while achieving unprecedented cost efficiencies.

 

Vayyar's imaging radar-on-chip supports life-saving in and out-of-cabin applications – replacing multiple sensors

 

Vayyar’s automotive-grade, AEC-Q100 qualified RoC is a game-changing solution. The chip features up to 48 transceivers, an internal digital signal processor (DSP) and microcontroller unit (MCU) for real-time signal processing. Capable of seeing through objects and able to operate effectively in all weather conditions, Vayyar’s single-chip solution can replace over a dozen other sensors and negates the need for expensive LIDAR and cameras.

Within the cabin, one multifunctional Vayyar chip can support a multitude of systems, including intruder alerts, Child Presence Detection, enhanced Seat Belt Reminders and eCall to alert emergency services in the event of a crash. It delivers a revolutionary level of safety, utterly unobtainable with traditional single-function sensors.

This breakthrough solution fulfils the functions of multiple chips by sensing, computing, processing, mapping and imaging targets with just a single radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). The platform supports Vayyar’s mission to ensure that safety is available and affordable for all car manufacturers and their key suppliers, at a time when modern cars are becoming increasingly crowded with sensors. 

Today, there are more than 100 sensors in a typical car, with analysts predicting that this will double by 2030. However, Vayyar’s new production-ready RoC offers unprecedented potential and a unique opportunity to cut cost and complexity while improving safety.

«By replacing multiple sensors with our multifunctional, scalable platform, the possibilities for simplicity and savings are substantial. In addition, regulations and standards are rising and to achieve 5-star ratings, automakers are moving away from traditional solutions,» explains Ian Podkamien, Head of Automotive at Vayyar. «Our multi-award winning technology, recognised by organisations such as CLEPA, equips vehicles with the instincts to save lives, providing uncompromising and affordable safety. What’s more, its price point is similar to a single-function 3×4 2D/3D radar solution, but with substantial added value.» 

The platform provides exceptionally high resolution and an extremely wide field of view to deliver unsurpassed precision and detail. The robust sensor is also engineered for scalability, seamlessly facilitating the deployment of emerging features via over-the-air (OTA) software updates. This effectively future-proofs vehicles as new safety requirements and standards emerge.

Central to the platform’s potential is its ability to reduce complexity, in order to cut direct and indirect costs. Vayyar has the in-house expertise to deliver a full end-to-end solution, including hardware, software, development and testing resources, streamlining the integration process for Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs to minimise effort, costs and risk. 

By providing a high-performance, cost-effective and multifunctional sensor, Vayyar’s technology closes the gap between rising safety demands and feasible tech adoption, ensuring that affordable, uncompromising safety is available to all.

Further information on Vayyar’s cutting-edge 4D imaging ROC technology is available at www.vayyar.com/auto.

About Vayyar Imaging (Automotive)

Vayyar’s intelligent sensors create holistic safety opportunities for in-cabin and ADAS, using automotive-grade 4D imaging radar technology. At the core of these sensors is a high-performance Radar-on-Chip that supports up to 48 transceivers for exceptional resolution. With an ultra-wide field of view, Vayyar’s 60GHz and 79GHz single-chip radar modules cover large areas to reduce the number of sensors in vehicles. They provide comprehensive detection in and around the vehicle, while simultaneously tracking multiple targets and objects. Vayyar technology is multi-functional, affordable and available for mass production. The radar-based platform is robust in all road conditions, while protecting user privacy. Vayyar plans to continue developing the next generation of sensor technology that is miniature, affordable and versatile enough to enable a safer world.

Editor’s notes 

Unlike traditional radar solutions that are based around 2 to 3 transmitting antennas and 3 to 4 receiving antennas, 4D imaging radar leverages a Multiple Input Multiple Output 48-antenna array for high-resolution mapping of its surroundings. The rich point cloud data output combined with an ultra-wide azimuth-elevation field of view, delivers detection and tracking with pinpoint accuracy, making it the ultimate safety sensor for the road ahead.

Research and Markets Logo

Between 2010 and 2019 a consistent upsurge has been noticed in the electrification of aircraft systems, research on electrical propulsion, and investments in electric or hybrid aircraft designs. Aerospace firms are joining forces to challenge their industry’s growing contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, with electric engines seen as one of the answers. In simple terms, «hybrid-electric» denotes two diverse sources of power, and on aircraft, this means being propelled by kerosene and an electric battery.

This report examines, analyzes, and predicts the evolution of electric & hybrid aircraft technologies, markets, and outlays (expenditures) over the next 8 years – 2020-2028 in the aerospace industry. It also examines electric & hybrid aircraft markets geographically, focusing on the top 95% of global markets, in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In this report, they analyze the market size of the Global Electric & Hybrid Aircraft market for the period 2020 – 2028. The report primarily focuses on the key markets – Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa. As of now, the United States remains the largest market for electric & hybrid aircraft followed by China and the European Union. Throughout the report, they show how electric & hybrid aircraft are used today to add real value. To provide the most thorough and realistic forecast, this report provides a twin-scenario analysis, including «steady state», and the emergence of new electric & hybrid aircraft technology. Companies are now unveiling new design plans for a biofuel-powered hybrid plane for passenger and cargo transport. This is because biofuel-powered aircraft will reduce the cost it takes to operate aircraft, including fuel and asset costs.

In any given country, the armed forces are among the biggest consumers of fuel and other resources, and so have the greatest opportunity to readily reduce consumption by a significant amount. For instance, the US Air Force is now using a 50/50 blend of regular jet fuel and camelina-based biofuel to power the F/A-18 Super Hornet multirole fighter jet, dubbed the «Green Hornet». This proves that while every single aircraft is not a Hybrid Aircraft there is potential to use biofuels to power existing aircraft.
