  • Patent number: 11451579
    Abstract: A method for protecting electronics systems of a vehicle from cyberattacks includes intercepting messages transmitted on a first communications bus between a plurality of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of a vehicle. The ECUs are communicatively coupled to the first communications bus. At least one recipient ECU that is a recipient of the intercepted messages is determined. The intercepted messages and information indicating the determined at least one recipient ECU are stored in a log. The method further includes detecting a computer attack of the vehicle based on satisfaction of at least one condition of a rule by the stored messages and information in the log and blocking the computer attack of the vehicle by performing an action associated with the rule. The rule may depend on whether one or more intercepted messages are malicious messages and a recipient ECU of the malicious messages.

  • Patent number: 11277417
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating rules for detecting and blocking attacks on electronics systems of a means of transportation. A security server receives log data having messages that were intercepted on the buses of the means of transportation around the time of a road traffic accident with the means of transportation. The security server detects computer attacks on the electronics systems and generates one or more rules that depend on one or more indicators of compromise, such as malicious messages used in a computer attack and information on at least one ECU that is a recipient of the malicious messages. The generated rules further specify actions for blocking subsequent computer attacks, such as blocking, modifying, or changing communications within the communications bus of the vehicle.
