Introduction
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to measures that reduce
the risk of unauthorised access to vehicle
functions, data and control units via malware
or an attach over the Internet.
What are connectivity components?
Control units for data transmissions, interfaces
and media and diagnostic connections are
connectivity components through which data
and information can be exchanged between
the vehicle and external devices or the Inter-
net. Connectivity components that are not
part of the equipment of all of the vehicles
particularly include:
• Connection socket for diagnosis.
•
Control unit with an integrated eSIM card
(OCU).
•
Telephone interface.
• Full Link.
•
NFC wireless communication technology.
• Bluetooth Interface®.
•
USB (connection).
• Transreceiver module.
The connectivity components are key points
in cybersecurity. Connectivity components are
also fitted with security mechanisms that min-
imise the risk of unauthorised third parties
gaining access to vehicle systems.
Security mechanisms
Software and locking mechanisms mounted on
the vehicle are being developed continuously.
As in the case of computers or mobile phone
device operating systems, software and lock-
ing mechanisms mounted on the vehicle can
also be updated non-periodically. In general,
software updates improve the security, stability
and speed of execution of vehicle systems that
have already been manufactured.
Minimising risks
You can contribute to reducing the risk of un-
authorized third parties accessing the vehicle
systems and their functions:
•
Do not use data storage devices, Bluetooth®
devices or mobile phone devices that contain
manipulated data or malicious software in the
vehicle.
• Immediately install the system updates provi-
ded by CUPRA.
•
Only get vehicle repair and maintenance
work done at specialised workshops. CUPRA
recommends visiting a CUPRA dealership for
this purpose.
WARNING
The risk of unauthorised third parties gaining
access to vehicle functions, data and con-
trol units through malware or an attack over
the Internet cannot be ruled out despite the
vehicle's security mechanisms. If malicious
software is introduced into the vehicle, it can
influence, deactivate or control the control
units and vehicle functions and cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
• If the vehicle operates differently than
usual or reacts or behaves strangely, reduce
speed immediately (where possible) in a con-
trolled manner and drive to the nearest spe-
cialist workshop without delay, or seek the
assistance of specialist personnel.
• Malicious software can also access data and
information stored in control units, the in-
fotainment system, connected data storage
devices and paired mobile phone devices.
