A hacked autonomous system server can cause a serious vulnerability that the user may have to give up access to remotely control self-driven cars. The hacker can create a patch, update it, and then send it over the network specifically to several IP addresses. He will need to spoof because he needs to intrude the network. Once the update is installed. the hacker will get control over the cars’ key features like the engine and the wheels. At this point, the hacker is able to control almost everything in the car and could take it in any direction.
The attacker’s attempt can be failed on several cars if the company had started installing X-PHY® SSD in its latest self-driving car releases. Several X-PHY® features work closely together and the X-PHY® is able to detect the attack and halt any attempt to illegally update any car’s firmware with the AI embedded X-PHY® SSD.
X-PHY®PROTECTION
Highly Controlled Firmware Update
X-PHY®’s feature Key Code Pro-X requires unique single-use keys encryption and decryption before any updates could be allowed therefore blocking any request by the attacker to update the car’s firmware with his malicious version.
Sophisticated Data Access Control
To access the data in the SSD, multiple key pairing is required adding an extra layer of security to all the data in X-Phy SSD. This security feature from X-PHY®’s X-Factor Encryption lock makes it impossible for the hacker to make any change in the existing data.
Automated AI-Powered Data monitoring
Active Detective and Deep Investigation features work hand in hand to keep track of all activities happening with your data and are highly trained to detect any anomalies in I/O behavior. Therefore, it detects and blocks any suspicious attempts to access data in the SSD making it impossible for the attacker to take control over the vehicle using his remote commands.
Intelligent Event Record
X-PHY®’s X-File Forensic Agent keeps track of every event taking place in the SSD for future reference. This keeps its security feature updated with all encountered cybersecurity attempts making it easy to detect them as soon as they start happening.
