Cybersecurity Designed with Automotive In Mind

You are focused on selling and servicing vehicles, providing a great customer experience, and ensuring your employees are able to work efficiently. That’s the business. Protecting the network and infrastructure used to make it all happen isn’t always top of mind. But in order to protect your most important asset, your data and your reputation, you need to implement a comprehensive cybersecurity program that protects your dealership from crippling cyber threats.

How do we help you do this?

It all starts with active monitoring and threat detection. We have a highly skilled Security Operations Center team that monitors all our clients 24/7/365 to detect and respond to potential threats using the various tools below.

Network Monitoring

Malicious activity is generally carried out remotely, using network connections. Consider all the connections you have from your customers on their mobile devices in the service lounge to every PC, employee phone, printer, and even scanners. With all those touchpoints, monitoring your network is an important component of an overall threat mitigation strategy. Proton uses tools to continuously monitor firewalls for signs of malicious activity. Combining network monitoring with endpoint and e-mail monitoring, provides a comprehensive detection capability for cyber threats.

Advanced Email Security

Your dealership relies on email for thousands of transactions and activities every day in every department. Email also happens to be the top method for cyber attackers to gain access to your network. It only takes one mistake, one click to begin a snowball effect of cyber-issues. For the best protection, you’ll want to pair a modern, robust email platform, such as Office365 Exchange or Google GSuite, with our advanced email security. This will provide an additional layer of spam filtering and advanced threat protection to keep potential threats from accessing your network.

Endpoint Detection and Response

Traditional anti-virus software simply isn’t up to the task of truly protecting your dealership. All of your internet-connected devices such as desktops, laptops, mobile devices, printers, and point of sale (POS) terminals require extra protection. Each of these endpoints can be targeted by a hacker to gain access to your network with potentially devastating consequences. Our endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution provides you with advanced threat protection that will monitor, detect, and respond to potential threats attempting to attack your various devices. Paired with live monitoring by skilled security professionals, this is the new baseline solution to protect your dealership.

Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning

You don’t know where your vulnerabilities are if you don’t test your system. Penetrating testing checks various entry points in your network to see where there are weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Using our service, we are able to quickly discover vulnerabilities in your dealership network infrastructure. Then, provide a powerful network hardening plan based on real-time data.

Is your dealership experiencing a cyberattack?

Protecting your dealership from cyber-crime is a 24/7/365 job that requires advanced security measures, as well as, trained and diligent employees that can help mitigate your risk. Cyber criminals use sophisticated technologies that change rapidly. Keeping up with these is challenging, if security is not your core business. If you find yourself in the middle of a cyber-incident or cyberattack, we have an expert Incident Response team that can help you.
