Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity

As the connected vehicle market accelerates, the network reaches into new frontiers to provide connectivity and data collection. To advance this transformation, the new ATIS report Improving Cybersecurity in Connected Vehicles: ICT Industry Experience and Perspectives addresses collaboration between the ICT industry and vehicle original equipment manufacturers to secure the car and block cyberattacks or malware events. MORE

Recent Changes to U.S. Export Regs Apply to ATIS Members

The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security recently issued a General Advisory Opinion regarding "the disclosure of technology or software subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) between and among members of standards setting or development groups or bodies." Certain ATIS materials are not subject to the EAR because they are available to the public. However, the new regulations apply to ATIS' technical activities that take place in the development of ATIS deliverables. Access ATIS' statement on the EAR.
