About this Event

17th Annual Future of Automotive IT Hybrid Conference: Automotive Cybersecurity
September 9, 2025
This conference will be a hybrid conference with options to attend in person or to view via a YouTube livestream.
Our 17th Annual Future of Automotive IT conference that will focus on cybersecurity is a follow up on our discussion of the role of cybersecurity in software-defined vehicles in 2022. As software-defined vehicle strategies are implemented throughout the auto industry, cybersecurity takes on a larger role inside the company and inside the vehicle. This year's conference will bring together cybersecurity experts from manufacturers and suppliers to gage:
• How far along companies are in implementing cybersecurity protocols?
• What do they see as the major cybersecurity challenges and opportunities?
• What role do the major software companies play in the implementation?
• How much does it cost to implement a strong cybersecurity program inside a company and inside a vehicle?
• How successful has the industry been in mitigating cyber attacks on their companies and vehicles?
• What role, if any, should the government play in supporting cybersecurity strategies in the auto industry?
• Where are vehciles most vulnerable to cyber attacks?
Lots of questions to discuss! Join us on September 9th.
Confirmed Speakers include:
Bruce Belzowski, Managing Director, Automotive Futures will moderate the conference and provide an overview of the current trends in automotive cybersecurity.
