AVL and Faurecia Join the Auto-ISAC
Washington, DC – March 1, 2022 – The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes new members AVL List Gmbh and Faurecia SE.
The Auto-ISAC announced today that it has added two European headquartered companies to its ranks of global members. In 2021, the Auto-ISAC appointed a European Regional Director responsible for establishing and leading the European Branch of the Auto-ISAC. The Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers in August 2015 to establish a global information sharing community to promote vehicle cybersecurity.
“As the Auto-ISAC continues to grow its membership so does its pool of contributors that are dedicated to sharing information that is essential in helping protect the connected vehicle industry. We are pleased to see AVL and Faurecia adding their knowledge and experience in cybersecurity to the Auto-ISAC,” said Faye Francy, Auto-ISAC Executive Director .
The Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub to share and analyze intelligence about emerging cybersecurity risks. Its secure intelligence sharing portal allows members to anonymously submit and receive information that helps them more effectively respond to cyber threats.
Recently, the Auto-ISAC expanded its scope to include Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) functional areas related to the connected vehicle. The newly formed IT/OT Working Group creates a forum for technical IT and OT cybersecurity experts in the automotive industry to share actionable intelligence regarding cybersecurity challenges, threats, and risk mitigation methods to build resiliency of the connected vehicle. And the CISO Executive Working Group is working across the global CISOs for automotive to collaborate and build resiliency across industry.
The Auto-ISAC has global representation. Its members represent more than 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North America. Members also include heavy-duty vehicles, commercial fleets and carriers and suppliers. For more information, please visit www.automotiveisac.com and follow us @autoisac.
