Connected cars

We are considering security solutions for systems installed in connected cars.
In the first place, I would like to know what kind of attacks there are against connected cars and what kind of solutions (specific products, companies, etc.) are available for them.

Thanks for the quick.
I don't know what parts and functions are equipped in a connected car to begin with.
If you know of any resources that explain them in a way that is easy for a beginner to understand, please let me know?

Best regards

Suggest that you do a quick google search to do some preliminary learning on Connected cars/vehicles.

What are you hoping to protect against? Vulnerabilities in hardware or software? User behavior when in the car? Ensuring a robust VPN connection back to a central facility?

Are you wanting to protect a fleet of your own vehicles, or are you hoping to design a better mousetrap for connected vehicles in general?

Have you or your org done any threat modeling on any types of attacks?
