Vehicle security operations centers (SOCs) are a vital step for automakers seeking to meet regulatory requirements by providing better threat detection and response for software-defined vehicles. VicOne's security operations center integrates Microsoft Azure IoT services to collect telemetry and other critical security information from connected cars and uses Azure data services to analyze threats and security vulnerabilities.    
 
Gartner® also suggests that the automotive industry should “partner with cybersecurity experts who can assess and propose a wide variety of countermeasures. Be future-oriented and avoid doing the bare minimum to mitigate all the threats listed by regulations: doing so will lead to a constant scramble to keep up with cybercriminals[”.  
 
As part of these efforts, Trend Micro has formed a strategic partnership with the MIH Consortium, an open electric vehicle platform alliance led by Foxconn, and recently joined the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) initiative, which aims to provide a cloud-native architecture for software-defined vehicle development. These moves solidify Trend Micro’s position at the heart of vehicle supply chains as industry stakeholders invest more time and resources in cybersecurity compliance.
