Security is the greatest luxury, BYD once again makes efforts in the field of information security

Since the birth of automobiles, safety has been an eternal priority for the development of the automobile industry. With technological advancement and constant changes in consumer demands, the definition of automobile safety has always been constantly enriched.

In the past, when people measured the safety of a car, they mainly looked at several major indicators such as body rigidity, collision energy-absorbing structure, braking performance, number of airbags, and the reliability of the active safety system. Nowadays, empowered by the wave of intelligent networking, the entire industry has more new thinking about car safety, including not only assisted driving safety, which has been hotly searched for many times before, but also attracting more and more attention. In-car privacy and information security.

Automobile data security incidents occur frequently, and users are increasingly worried

In recent years, car data security incidents have occurred frequently, causing public uproar and making the public pay attention to the importance of privacy and information security in the car. In addition, in the past two years, there have been rumors on the Internet from time to time that user data of car companies have been hacked by hackers, and some information has even been sold at a clear price, which inevitably makes many users worried.

In particular, in-car cameras make users more psychologically worried. It can be seen that how to make users feel more at ease when using a car is a topic that every car company is facing. Xinhua News Agency once commented: “Installing cameras in cars may objectively bring a lot of convenience in ensuring the safety of drivers and vehicles, but no matter what level of convenience it is, it must not be based on the arbitrary transfer of personal privacy and information. cost."

Can the camera in the car be turned off? How to close?

As the level of intelligence in cars increases, the application rate of in-car cameras in car companies is getting higher and higher, either for taking pictures with in-car cameras, or for DMS driver monitoring assistance (Driving Monitor System), or for Detection of objects left in the car and other functions. As in-car privacy and information security arouse widespread concern, cameras may have become a major source of privacy concerns for car owners. So, can the camera in the car be turned off? How to close?

In this context, we learned through a sample survey of different brands of models that there are different ways to turn off in-car cameras on the market, indicating that at present, the industry has not yet reached a consensus on this matter.

It is noted here that BYD is currently one of the very few car companies that uses in-car camera covers. Domestic BYD models equipped with in-car cameras are equipped with physical sliding covers to dispel users' concerns about privacy leaks and provide dual protection of software + hardware. This will further improve information security and make users feel safe in the car.

What is a knowable/sensible/controllable information security defense system?

BYD's solution for in-car camera privacy protection is not high-cost, but the effect is immediate, and it is worth learning from other car companies. At the same time, it needs to be added that based on the research and analysis of some BYD related models, we found that this is actually only a small part of the in-depth information security defense system created by BYD.

BYD's information security defense system covers multiple dimensions from the car to the cloud, which can fully protect users' information security and driving safety. What's even more valuable is that it also allows users to know, feel, and understand their own data. Controllable.

First of all, at the level of product design and development, BYD's mobile APP and vehicle system provide users with privacy statements, inform users of personal data processing and access rights measures in a conspicuous manner, and provide users with convenient access to personal information rights. Channels enable users to truly know the data rights they enjoy.

Secondly, clear and perceptible privacy security protection is provided to users through certain physical methods. For example, the in-car camera cover mentioned above falls into the perceptible category. Users can use this to ensure that information leakage is prevented from the source.

Finally, whether it is a mobile APP or a car system, BYD provides users with a permission management solution, and users can choose the corresponding permission management strategy independently. At the same time, the applications and systems developed by BYD adopt security strategies to prevent self-starting and provide users with autonomously controllable product solutions.

In terms of product attack and defense testing, BYD has improved its own capabilities and product security protection through continuous high-intensity security attack and defense testing, and has won many national competition awards, such as BYD's participation in the 2nd China Intelligent Connected Vehicle Information Security Challenge. Won a gold medal.

In addition, BYD has expressed its willingness and is accepting supervision from regulatory agencies, and is also actively carrying out various data security and compliance certifications. At present, BYD has obtained security certifications such as R155 (CSMS) and R156 (SUMS) system certification, and has passed the National Information Security Level 3 Certification.

It can be seen that BYD attaches great importance to protecting the privacy of car owners, whether in terms of privacy policy or vehicle safety configuration, and continues to contribute to the information security protection wall. It can be said that for the sake of users' peace of mind, BYD is taking actions to ensure safety to the end, from details to the overall situation.

write at the end

The role of cars in modern human life has begun to evolve from a simple means of transportation to a new intelligent mobility space, which means that more and more things can be done in the car. But what cannot be ignored is that the more closely a thing is connected to human life, the more unimaginable the harm caused by its insecurity. For example, the mental loss or property damage caused by the leakage of private information can be large or small. Therefore, BYD's approach to information security system protection is necessary. We hope that BYD can continue to lead the industry and create a higher-level information security defense system to protect information security with leading measures.
