FIDO Webinar: Driving Automotive Innovation with FIDO Standards and Certification

Attendees joined this webcast to hear how FIDO Alliance standards and certification can support the automotive industry as it transitions toward software-defined vehicles, autonomous technologies, and connected services. This transition brings an unprecedented opportunity to innovate and capitalize on new business models (such as in-vehicle commerce and subscription services) but also introduces significant cybersecurity threats and user experience challenges. 

This session builded upon the FIDO Alliance’s recently published white paper, Addressing Cybersecurity Challenges in the Automotive Industry, exploring how the FIDO Alliance is uniquely positioned to address these challenges using passkeys, FIDO Device Onboard (FDO), and existing and future certification programs.

Attendees learned: 

• How you can get involved to help shape how these standards evolve and ensure your organization is at the forefront of the industry’s transformation.
• How passkeys can provide strong and user-friendly authentication for in-vehicle commerce and payments that consumers can trust.
• How authentication with passkeys can open up a range of compelling personalized services to users.
• How FDO can provide a fast and secure way to automate the onboarding of devices such as Zone Controllers inside the vehicle during manufacture as well as provide Car-to-Cloud onboarding.
• How adopting the same approach to workforce authentication as the IT industry can provide greater security across the automotive industry.
• How world-class certification programs can play a vital role in the industry’s transformation, ensuring the interoperability and compliance of products and components.
