Thatâs according to Upstream Security Ltd., a startup offering a cloud-based automotive cybersecurity and data analytics platform thatâs opening its first vehicle security operation center outside of its native Israel in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Upstream has the ability to cover 90% of potential security attacks on a vehicle, he said. >From its customers, it obtains information coming to and from connected vehicles, charging stations and other digital applications being collected in the cloud. Upstreamâs platform does security analysis and uses machine learning models to look for known and unknown anomalies in the data.

The company has hundreds of playbooks generated from various use cases from when anomalies are detected on actions that can be taken to protect the vehicle or information. Depending on the type of attack, some actions are automatic, while others may take longer. Actions may also include disabling the SIM card in a vehicle, working with the automakerâs cybersecurity team and contacting the driver.

Upstream today monitors around 12 million vehicles. Its Ann Arbor center will be responsible for a few million.

Upstream expects its Ann Arbor center to be fully operational by the end of the year. It is looking to open a vehicle security operation in center in Japan, as well.
