Automotive IQ invites you to join your colleagues in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the 16th Annual Automotive Cybersecurity Summit 2026, the region’s top-ranking technical conference for professionals working in Product/Vehicle Security, IT/OT Security, Manufacturing Security, Application Security and Embedded Security.

Standards are now in place and regulations have come into play. Automotive organizations have implemented cyber security management systems that are compliant with R155. What should have been a clear road ahead is now filled with trepidation and challenges; cybersecurity is being seen as cost centre and proving ROI to management is challenging.

The industry is also shifting aggressively towards AI and SDV. On the one hand AI-driven cyber-attacks are becoming sophisticated, on the other, AI and LLM are being utilized to create risk profiles of new vulnerabilities, deploy patches quickly and safely, and building agents for threat modelling. ECUs and operating systems that were previously supplied by tier-1 companies are now being built in-house at OEM, sparking a need for new security features and technologies to be created for SDVs. Understanding requirements for CRA, SBOM and HBOM are crucial for companies wanting to sell vehicles and operate in globalized economy. The next big thing on the horizon for embedded cybersecurity is PQC and making devices ready for post-quantum algorithms.

Innovating while balancing cost has never been more important. Learning from shared and borrowed experiences and tackling challenges collectively as an industry is now critical to survival.

Take a pause from daily activities; come and look at what the industry and your counterparts are doing. Leave feeling more informed & more prepared than when you arrive at Automotive Cybersecurity Summit USA 2026.
