American CISOs should prepare now for the coming connected-vehicle tech bans

The article from CSO Online discusses the potential implications of the Biden administration's proposed ban on connected vehicle technology from countries like China, focusing on cybersecurity and national security concerns. It highlights how American Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) need to prepare for this shift, as the ban could disrupt supply chains and force a reevaluation of technology integration in vehicles. The article points out that connected vehicles, which include features like GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity, could serve as entry points for cyberattacks or espionage if not secured properly. It suggests that CISOs should start by assessing their current vehicle fleets for vulnerabilities, understanding the supply chain of their automotive technology, and planning for alternative sourcing or technology solutions. Additionally, the article emphasizes the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures, including better encryption, secure boot mechanisms, and ongoing monitoring for threats. The overarching message is for CISOs to proactively adapt to these regulatory changes to mitigate risks associated with connected vehicle technologies.
