How to Protect Telematics Systems from Cyberattacks?

How to Protect Telematics Systems from Cyberattacks?

Jan 11, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Telematics systems face elevated cybersecurity risks due to continuous connectivity between vehicles, cloud servers, and users. This constant data exchange expands the attack surface across fleet operations, making these systems attractive targets for cyber threats. Cyberattacks on telematics infrastructure can expose sensitive data such as vehicle locations, driver behavior, operational workflows, and personal information. When compromised, this data can disrupt fleet operations, damage trust, and create serious compliance and regulatory risks.

Jan 6, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward Networks
When application traffic fails to reach its destination, teams must determine whether the problem lies in routing, firewall rules, NAT behavior, or a combination of all three. In many environments, these components overlap in ways that make traditional troubleshooting slow and error-prone. Engineers often have to run repeated tests, stage changes, or temporarily disable rules to understand why a flow is being blocked.

Episode 5 - Detecting DNS Covert Channels in the Wild (Part 1)

Jan 1, 2026 By Corelight In Corelight
In Episode 5 of Corelight Defenders, I, Richard Bejtlich, engage with Corelight's co-founder and chief scientist, Vern Paxson, to delve into the intricate world of DNS covert channels. We explore how adversaries exploit DNS lookups to silently communicate within tightly controlled enterprise environments. Vern explains various methods attackers may use, from encoding data in seemingly benign domain names to manipulating the timing of requests. Our discussion highlights the challenges of detecting these covert channels, especially in the presence of network monitoring.
