Billington Global Automotive Cybersecurity Summit

The centerpiece of this day-long summit will be the keynote addresses by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, the country's top transportation official, and GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra, the chief of the country's largest automaker. The automotive sector is taking some steps to bolster cybersecurity awareness and knowledge. Last year the industry created the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center ("Auto-ISAC,") to enhance information sharing in the auto sector. In addition, companies are forming "coordinated disclosure programs" which allow security researchers to share cyber threats with the OEMS (Original Equipment Manufacturers.)
