BlackBerry Cylance is extending beyond traditional PC and computer endpoint protection to focus on the emerging connected car industry.The BlackBerry Cylance effort may give MSSPs (managed security services providers) a roadmap beyond endpoint security for PCs and servers. The long-term destination may help MSSPs to safeguard data, devices, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) connections in the emerging autonomous vehicle market, MSSP Alert believes.This is more than a consumer car opportunity. MSSPs may ultimately wind up safeguarding autonomous government vehicles, military drones and other self-driving systems over the long haul, MSSP Alert believes.DeepRoute: Introduced an ADS synchronization controller that can take control of autonomous vehicle and perform emergency tasks such as braking. Qualcomm: Announced the Snapdragon Ride Platform, which provides automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and other autonomous driving capabilities. Yandex: Debuted self-driving vehicles that can safely perform in driverless mode across multilane streets at speeds up to 45 mph. The global autonomous vehicles market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21 percent from 2017 to 2022 and a CAGR of 69 percent from 2025 to 2030, according to industry analyst MarketsandMarkets. As automakers and technology manufacturers search for ways to capitalize on the rising demand of autonomous vehicles, the number of secure connected vehicle software platforms could increase in the years to come.Additional insights from Joe Panettieri.
