Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Ever since Carl Benz patented what is widely considered the first practical automobile and Henry Ford\u2019s industrial techniques drove production scalability, consumer behavior and evolving preferences have driven improvements in performance, safety, and reliability. We are now at a phase of automotive development where continued automobile featurization \u2014 digital apps that provide the car with additional capabilities \u2014 heavily depends on cloud computing, high speed networks, and artificial intelligence.\u00a0\u00a0
\nAs the car continues to evolve in the cloud era, and with 1.5 billion automobiles on the road today, we\u2019re seeing a broad spectrum of bad actors increasingly targeting the automotive sector\u2019s cloud environments, from factories to showrooms to consumer vehicles.
\nToday, Google Cloud is proud to join the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) as an Innovator Partner, a move that significantly deepens our commitment to the automotive and transportation sectors. The Auto-ISAC is a global community that has come together to address vehicle cybersecurity risks. It serves as the industry’s central nervous system for security, accounting for 99% of light-duty vehicles in North America, and uniting over 80 global OEMs and suppliers.\u00a0
\nAs the organization expands to include heavy trucking and the commercial vehicle sector, our partnership comes at a pivotal moment for the industry. Safeguarding the future of mobility demands a strategy that transcends traditional boundaries. Through this collaboration, Google Cloud has committed to dedicating resources and experts to work with industry leaders, fortifying the resilience of automotive systems against evolving threats.\u00a0
\nWe are bringing a network of expertise spanning IT, OT, supply chain logistics, and product security, specifically designed to navigate the complexities of the software-defined vehicle and industry 4.0. This partnership underscores our dedication to supporting the sector’s digital transformation, while ensuring the integrity of its infrastructure.\u00a0
\nBy combining our global security intelligence with the Auto-ISAC\u2019s collective defense model, we aim to provide the knowledge and support necessary for members to maintain vigilance, anticipate and mitigate threats, manage crises effectively, and ensure operational continuity in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape
\nAs an Innovator Partner, Google Cloud will bring experts and resources, including unique insights from Mandiant, to help protect the automotive industry against cyberattacks. Googlers will work with automotive sector defenders and leaders , sharing knowledge that we have learned through building and deploying secure technology at Google scale.
\nThis partnership is a continuation of Google\u2019s commitment to invest at least $10 billion over five years to advance cybersecurity. This same commitment has enabled us to join other organizations like the Electricity ISAC, Health ISAC, Financial Services ISAC, BRC, MFG-ISAC and affiliates, so we can continue to support the security and resilience of our critical infrastructure across key sectors.
\n\u201cAs the automotive sector accelerates its shift toward software-defined vehicles, we recognize its vital role in driving the global economy. Our partnership with Auto-ISAC reflects a deep commitment to securing that transformation. By pairing Google\u2019s global threat intelligence with the community\u2019s industry expertise, we aim to foster a resilient ecosystem that protects the entire value chain \u2014 from the supply chain to the connected car,\u201d said Nick Godfrey, senior director and global head, Office of the CISO, Google Cloud.
\n\u201cThis digital transformation is effectively integrating vehicles into the vast ecosystem of the Internet of Things, redefining every stage of the lifecycle from design and development to the customer experience. However, as the attack surface expands, security cannot be an afterthought. It is imperative that our investment in cyber resilience evolves in tandem with our innovation to truly safeguard the future of mobility,\u201d said Vinod D\u2019Souza, director, manufacturing and industries, Office of the CISO, Google Cloud.
\n\u201cGoogle Cloud\u2019s expertise in cybersecurity, scalable infrastructure, and artificial intelligence brings important capabilities to our membership. We are pleased to welcome Google Cloud to the Auto-ISAC\u2019s Partnership Program and look forward to advancing vehicle cybersecurity together,\u201d said Faye Francy, executive director of the Auto-ISAC.
