Preventing Severe Disruptions in Vehicle Data Flow – Get the Whitepaper

Data security failures have become a paramount challenge for the automotive industry to address, with the CDK ransomware attack over the summer highlighting the far-reaching financial and reputational consequences of suffering a critical breach. According to threat intelligence provider SOCRadar, automotive businesses will continue to be an appealing target for cybercrime, because of the vulnerabilities inherent in necessary interconnectivity.

The heavy reliance on connected solutions, which includes key VIN-based vehicle data delivery, means that downtime will always cause a crisis. Automotive businesses need to proactively patch this issue before they are forced to make costly emergency fixes during a major failure. DataOne Software, which has provided mission-critical vehicle data solutions across the automotive marketplace for over 25 years, has released a security-focused whitepaper recommending the addition of a backup data provider. This whitepaper, A Security and Business-Based Case for Automotive Data Redundancy, further supported by trusted sources in the automotive and technology spaces, also outlines the ancillary benefits of engaging a secondary provider for VIN database delivery.

Topics discussed in this latest DataOne release, which can be leveraged within any auto industry business, include:

• Establishing a set of criteria for evaluating your current data provider’s readiness to protect itself from cyberattacks.
• Obtaining access to additional cloud hosting regions, which minimizes the possibility of significant downtime.
• Incorporating a delivered database, which would ensure data availability in the case of roadblocks to real-time delivery.
• The benefits of preventing “vendor lock-in,” and evaluating the alternative vendor for future development and revenue opportunities.
