Electric vehicles have become one of the most complex digital devices in the world. Hackers are targeting EVs and their chargers with cyberattacks.

As public officials and enterprise leaders work to build electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the United States, cybersecurity professionals in the energy and transportation sectors should consider how best to secure the technology.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has identified several potential risks of autonomous vehicles in transit systems and supply chains. Along with these risks, CISA has introduced a set of guidelines for organizations who use autonomous vehicles in their operations.
