Connected Vehicle Posture Monitor

A continuous API and configuration security monitor for automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers running customer-facing fleet and connected-car platforms. Scores every endpoint against an evolving OWASP-style catalogue for connected vehicles.

Target user

Security architects at vehicle OEMs and tier-1 telematics suppliers

Features
  • Continuous discovery of unauthenticated internal/admin endpoints
  • Catalogue of connected-vehicle-specific risks (OTP reuse, mass enumeration, IDP leaks)
  • Executive risk dashboard with remediation SLA tracking
  • Integration with Jira and ServiceNow for engineering hand-off
Why now

The My Eicher disclosure shows that walking up an API path is still enough to dump a whole customer base — and OEMs cannot afford to learn that from a journalist.

Real, recent disclosures (My Eicher unauthenticated API dump) plus repeated OEM breaches (Volvo, Stellantis, Scania, Hyundai AutoEver, JLR) and a market forecast of ~$14B by 2030 at ~19% CAGR point to strong, evidence-backed demand.How Unauthenticated APIs Exposed Volvo Eicher's My Eicher Fleet PlatformThe Automotive Industry Under Siege: How Ransomware and Supply Chain Attacks Devastated Major Carmakers in 2024-2025Automotive Cybersecurity Market Size, Share & Forecast 2030

Multiple incumbents already address adjacent slices — VxLabs/ThreatZ (TARA/SBOM), VicOne (OEM/Tier-1 compliance), Upstream/Argus (vehicle SOC), Cequence (connected-car API security), Reruption (OEM compliance) — and OWASP Automotive Top 10 + ISO/SAE 21434 are converging, leaving a narrow window for a pure-play API-posture-scoring product.Connected Vehicle API Security | VxLabsSolutions for Tier 1 Suppliers - VicOneAutomotive API Security for Connected Vehicles | CequenceAutoSecurityy/Top-10-Automotive-Vulnerabilities

Monetization
7/10

Regulated buyers (UN R155/R156, ISO/SAE 21434, EU CRA Art. 10, NIS2, new BIS rule) with large CISO budgets and recurring continuous-monitoring needs support six-figure annual contracts, though OEM sales cycles are notoriously long.Global Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity Market Size, Share & ForecastAutomotive Cybersecurity Market Size, Growth, Trends 2035

Longevity
8/10

Compliance regimes (UN R155/R156, ISO/SAE 21434, EU CRA) are now mandatory and BIS connected-vehicles rules expand through MY2030, giving a multi-year regulatory tailwind and growing attack surface from SDVs and OTA.Global Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity Market Size, Share & ForecastAutomotive Security - OWASP Cheat Sheet Series

Feasibility
5/10

Core building blocks exist (OWASP Automotive Top 10 catalogue, API scanning stacks, threat intel feeds, TARA tooling), but automotive-specific endpoint coverage, fleet-platform connectors, and OEM-grade delivery take meaningful engineering — non-trivial but buildable on top of off-the-shelf API security primitives.Automotive TARA & SBOM Platform | ISO/SAE 21434 | ThreatZOWASP API Security Project
