FASTR (Future of Automotive Security Technology Research) is an organization that works with the automotive ecosystem to enable organically secure vehicles of the future. As vehicles become more software-focused, connected, and autonomous, the cyber attack surface is expanding significantly. FASTR will accelerate automotive security innovation by catalyzing key technologies through a community of OEMs, suppliers, universities, and security companies. FASTR takes a layered defense-in-depth approach, with workgroups focusing on in-vehicle systems, connectivity/cloud, and autonomous applications. The goal is to provide proof points in these areas by 2017 to help build trust in autonomous vehicles.
