Our lives are more connected and the number of attacks on important services is exploding and changing: it has changed from harming your laptop to increasingly harming the equipment and infrastructure you depend on everyday. Without knowing, we are daily exposed to cyber-attacks that can completely blindfold our society, and the risk is growing with our increased technology dependency.

Why is this important?
Since its inception Testnor has been working closely with several domains to solve an increasing demand for open-air testing including
Automotive

“Every 39 second, a cyber-attack happens”
- University of Maryland
According to a March 2024 study titled "Automotive Cyber Security"— authored by Germany's Center of Automotive Management (CAM) in cooperation with US software giant Cisco Systems — the threats to cybersecurity in the auto industry are imminent.
The risk of cyberattacks on the automotive industry is rising due to the increasing networking and digitalization of cars, production, and logistics, the study says.
With the undeniable dependence on technology today, we need to consider the fact that this adaptation is putting multiple businesses and consumers at risk. A McKinsey
eport estimates that about 15% of new cars sold by 2030 will be highly autonomous vehicles, which will depend heavily on accurate GNSS positioning to function properly
