With the 5th annual SOS conference kicking off tomorrow, ASRG issues a final call for automotive cybersecurity practitioners to register and join live.
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Secure Our Streets (SOS) 2026, the Automotive Security Research Group's (ASRG) flagship automotive cybersecurity conference, opens tomorrow, Thursday, September 17, 2026, online and free of charge. With registration closing soon, ASRG is issuing a final call for practitioners across the automotive industry to reserve their seat.
Now in its fifth year, SOS has grown into one of the industry's largest practitioner-led gatherings on vehicle cybersecurity, having reached practitioners in more than 60 countries and drawn over 3,000 registered attendees in past editions. Tomorrow's edition brings together keynotes from Dr. Mark T. Hofmann ("Dr. Darknet") on how attackers are weaponizing AI and deepfakes, and Florian Rohde on the origins of Tesla's software-defined vehicle validation pipeline, alongside live exploit demonstrations from researchers at PCAutomotive, CyMobility, and Harper Shaw Investigation Consultants, and panel discussions spanning AI in cybersecurity, the current state of ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156 implementation, and the emerging cybersecurity challenges facing connected e-bikes and motorcycles.
A Reminder: This Year, Live Means First
SOS has always made its sessions freely available afterward, and 2026 is no exception, but for the first time, this year's content will not be released to the public archive until 2027. Practitioners who want the latest thinking on automotive cybersecurity as it happens, and the chance to ask questions live, have one opportunity to do so: tomorrow.
