GlobalAutoIndustry.com’s latest Audio Interview, “SAE CyberSecurity for Commercial Vehicles: An American Perspective” features Gloria D’Anna, engineer, strategist, entrepreneur and multiple patent holder. She is the author of the book “SAE CyberSecurity for Commercial Vehicles“
In the 13-minute Audio Interview, Ms. D’Anna discusses these questions:
• I saw SAE in the title. Can you tell our listeners what that refers to and your involvement with the organization?
• What are some differences between automotive and commercial vehicle cybersecurity?
• What I found interesting was in the chapter 6 When ‘Trucks Stop, America Stops” and ‘the timeline that stated within 4 weeks no clean drinking water’. Would you like to expand on that theory or any other items? What should we as consumers be concerned about?
• Can you give your perspectives on some harsh realities that show potential impacts if things do go array when cyber-attacks occur on commercial vehicles?
• So after reading the book what would be the main themes you would like to leave the audience with?
• Final thoughts
