It\u2019s time to look at cybersecurity from an IT angle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Human Element<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The integrity of a fleet\u2019s data management system relies on how well you manage said system, as well as systems upkeep.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the technical aspects, it\u2019s also important to address the human element. After all, you will be having employees and partners regularly interacting with these systems. If you don\u2019t have a comprehensive telematics security program in place that addresses the human element, you aren\u2019t as protected as you think.<\/p>\n<p>There are generally four aspects of telematics security at play in any given situation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Management: Do<\/strong> you have an established team of security experts and a management crew who understands the meaning of cybersecurity?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Policies:<\/strong> Does your organization have a set of comprehensive policies and procedures in place regarding cybersecurity?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design:<\/strong> Are your systems designed with product safety and software development in mind?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Training:<\/strong> Are you regularly training your employees and management staff on the various cybersecurity policies, procedures and technical aspects you\u2019ve put in place?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve answered these questions, it\u2019s important to address the resiliency of the platform itself. Let\u2019s take a closer look at this topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Platform Resilience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/informationweek-home\/feds-urge-caution-on-aftermarket-devices-that-plug-into-vehicle-diagnostic-ports\/d\/d-id\/1324759\">recommended<\/a> that operators of commercial motor vehicles should not connect third-party devices to OBD II ports. The fact is, if you don\u2019t know where a particular device was manufactured, you shouldn\u2019t be connecting it to your expensive commercial motor vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Any fleet manager worth his or her salt in the field knows that there should be specific policies in place to ensure connected devices are safe. There are also a number of tried-and-true principles to follow to ensure your telematics platform and subsequent data collection efforts are safe.<\/p>\n<p>They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring data transfers are secure<\/li>\n<li>Signing updates digitally<\/li>\n<li>Using proprietary hardware code protections<\/li>\n<li>Assume codes are public, ensuring you are constantly changing or updating them<\/li>\n<li>Employ the use of strong random numbers and encryption when transmitting information from one system to another<\/li>\n<li>Compartmentalize critical security-related data<\/li>\n<li>Do not use the same encryption key for multiple roles<\/li>\n<li>Have a verified third-party audit your telematics security systems<\/li>\n<li>Limit your server access to a need-to-know basis<\/li>\n<li>Constantly test and verify your systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don\u2019t take a rigorous approach to your systems security, you are leaving the vital, digital lifeblood of your software and hardware systems vulnerable to attack. To ensure full redundancy and security, you must be constantly reviewing, improving, testing and validating your cybersecurity measures and telematics protection initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design Security in the Cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since most telematics systems store their data in the cloud, you have to make sure your systems are protected at both the beginning and end-points. Telematics systems relay their data to a storage or processing server, so they must be secured at the source on both ends.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it is vitally important to remember that no system is ever perfect. Never rest on your laurels and assume that because you addressed it once, it\u2019s addressed forever. Only constant vigilance will ensure that your systems remain ahead of potential attackers.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">[wp_ad_camp_2]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Once you have the right protection in place, ensure responsible parties stay up-to-date on its operation.
