Today's cars have about 100 million lines of code. In comparison, a passenger plane has an estimated 15 million lines of code, a modern fighter jet about 25 million. This complexity emphasizes the key role of cybersecurity in the automotive industry and the need for equally complex protection measures. The sheer amount of software code in today's vehicles requires robust, sophisticated cybersecurity features. With the release of the Automotive Cyber Maturity Report 2024, ETAS aims to help master this complexity and pave the way for cybersecurity solutions.

Collaboration and integration of security increasingly important

For this purpose, ETAS has published the Automotive Cyber Maturity Report 2024, which is based on the findings of the fourth annual Automotive Cyber Maturity Survey. The survey conducted by the Bosch subsidiary recorded participants from 19 countries. 60 percent of the participants were suppliers, 22 percent were car manufacturers, 8 percent came from the semiconductor sector, and 10 percent from other areas.

With increasing vehicle networking and the growing proportion of software in cars, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been greater than today. The survey emphasizes the importance of collaboration, automation, and the integration of security at every level of software development.

The key findings from the report are:

Cybersecurity increases competitiveness—companies with high cyber maturity have a clear competitive advantage.
Cybersecurity is no longer just a hype—the industry has developed a mature understanding that goes beyond just acquiring certifications.
Increased focus on security measures and the ecosystem—the importance of security monitoring and protection of the software supply chain ecosystem is of the highest priority for companies with high cyber maturity.
Generative AI (GenAI) requires appropriate consideration—the potential risks and opportunities that GenAI brings require special attention.
