Defending the
heavy-vehicle
cyber domain
Chris York, director of
electronic system
cybersecurity at
Cummins, makes a
point during the recent
cybersecurity panel at
COMVEC 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a
stark reminder of trucking's essential role in
keeping the economy moving. Hacking
commercial vehicles poses grave risks that
should not be ignored; therefore, adequate
cybersecurity measures should be
considered and implemented up front in
vehicle and system-development programs.
That was the consensus of industry experts
participating in a cybersecurity panel at the
recent SAE COMVEC 2021 conference in
Chicago.
Among the panelists was Chris York,
director of electronic system cybersecurity
at Cummins Inc. The company displays its
products at COMVEC and other
cybersecurity events so they can be " poked
and prodded " for possible cyber
vulnerability. Engine controllers, brake

controllers, and telematics units were some
of the specific Cummins components
available at COMVEC for hands-on
discovery.
" We find things out every year and we go
back and we'll [make fixes], " said York, a
three-year SAE member. " My perspective is
that people are going to learn how to hack
this stuff regardless. People are hacking
embedded products, IOT products. There's
nothing unique or special about our
industry that makes us not a target. You're
better off to engage, meet the hackers
where they are and learn how to make your
products more robust to these kinds of
attacks. "
A major challenge facing the industry is
that cybersecurity is not mature and is
rapidly changing, York said. And hackers
