A severity level corresponding to the illicit signal is identified, among multiple severity levels, based on one or more characteristics associated with the illicit signal. The severity level is indicative of a level of adverse impact on safety related to an autonomous vehicle environment. The adverse impact is to be caused by the autonomous vehicle when the autonomous vehicle is compromised by the illicit signal. A security operation is selected from multiple security operations based on the identified severity level.
