  • Patent number: 12367276
    Abstract: A center device is provided that receives a log from vehicle-mounted equipment transmitting the log based on an external transmission rule and analyzes the log to detect a cyber attack. Based on a result of the detecting, the center device determines update of the external transmission rule. The center devices transmits an external transmission rule update instruction. As attack depth of the cyber attack is deeper, the center device sets an external transmission target to the log that is generated in a deeper layer among layers in which constituent elements of the vehicle-mounted equipment are defined.
