Three Giant Companies Join Auto-ISAC

DENSO, AT&T, Magna International, and Infineon Technologies have recently joined The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) as OE supplier members. The center aims to step up its efforts in fostering cooperation between suppliers and automakers around vehicle cybersecurity.

In a statement, Jeff Massimilla of GM who serves as Auto-ISAC vice chairman, said that they look forward to working with Denso, AT&T, Infineon Technologies, and Magna to improve vehicle cybersecurity protections.

He noted that suppliers play an important role in the design and engineering of secure connected vehicles, stressing that the addition of the four new members would help Auto-ISAC continue to reinforce the industry’s proactive efforts to integrate strong security measures into every phase of vehicle development.

Auto-ISAC was established in July last year in a collective effort by the automotive industry to set up a secure platform for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence about potential vulnerabilities and cyber threats.

Auto-ISAC operates a central hub that enables members to anonymously submit and get information to help them counter cyber threats in real time more effectively. The members of the center currently account for over 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North America.
