The Department of Computer Engineering (DEI) of Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), in collaboration with the Master in Computer Engineering (MEI), invites you to participate in another lecture, this time with the theme “Speed Bumps and Speed Hacks: Insights into Automotive Application Security”, which will take place on November 17th, at 6:00 PM, at ISEP.

The event will take place in room B401.

Abstract

This lecture presents several findings from a security assessment of automotive manufacturers' web applications, to reveal that traditional web vulnerabilities persist in modern connected vehicle ecosystems. We will cover how legacy security flaws impact the automotive industry, risks from outdated third-party components, and the value of responsible disclosure programs. Through technical analysis and real-world case studies, this session will show how application security principles remain critical.
