Siemens Tech Day: Video Interview – Academia’s role in automotive security

We caught up with Siraj Shaikh, Professor in Systems Security at Swansea University, as part of our promotional coverage for the 2024 Siemens Technology Day.

Siraj discusses the role of academia in pushing the frontiers of knowledge, presenting a neutral playground for a lot of new ideas. And how it is well placed to work with a range of industry partners to realise how modern industrial technologies could best become part of road vehicles..

He covers, for example, how the Global Automotive Advisory Council (GAAC) – which represents semiconductor industries and also automotive industry players – provides a forum for thought leadership, to explore new emerging ideas.


Vehicles have to be increasingly connected and also increasingly complex, he highlights, and they are also increasingly carrying the electronics and software in different configurations that come together to form even more complex systems… The security of an automotive is becoming a substantial challenge.


Thank you to Siraj for his time.
