Panel: Tackling Automotive Hardware Vulnerabilities
Nullcon Goa 2025 · Panel
The "Tackling Automotive Hardware Vulnerabilities" panel at Nullcon delved into the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of security threats facing modern vehicles. Featuring two experts, Dennis (a hardware security researcher) and Sain (an industry professional with experience in both automotive and medical domains), the discussion explored the critical intersection of hardware, software, and safety in the automotive sector. The panelists, guided by a moderator, illuminated why cars are increasingly becoming sophisticated **Internet of Things (IoT)** systems, inheriting many of the security challenges prevalent in that ecosystem.

A competent panel covering well-trodden automotive security terrain — CAN bus isolation, supply chain opacity, RF relay attacks, infotainment as attack surface. Nothing new for anyone who's followed car hacking since Miller and Valasek, but the safety/security coupling angle and the medical-device cross-domain perspective add modest texture. Fills a slot without embarrassing the conference.
