To help mitigate cyber-security risks associated with connected cars while also encouraging technological progression and innovation, Intel today announced the creation of the Automotive Security Review Board (ASRB) made of automotive security experts. ASRB researchers will conduct cyber-security research for Intel’s automotive platform. The member with the most impactful contribution will be awarded a new car. The Automotive Security Review Board will bring together top security industry talent from around the world who have expertise in particular areas of cyber-physical systems. ASRB researchers will perform ongoing security tests and audits intended to codify best practices and design recommendations for advanced cyber-security solutions and products to benefit the automobile industry and drivers. To motivate the ASRB researchers, Intel will award a new car to the member who provides the most significant and impactful cybersecurity contribution that can be implemented on Intel’s automotive platform. All details related to the Intel development platform and areas of security audit focus will be provided at the inaugural ASRB meet-up next month.

The new Intel white paper “Automotive Security Best Practices: Recommendations for Security and Privacy in the Era of the Next-Generation Car,” analyzes risks associated with the next generation of connected automobiles and provides specific security recommendations for the automotive industry. Intel is inviting industry experts to comment on the white paper and will publish revisions based upon feedback and ASRB findings.
