Information technology is the driving force behind most innovations in the automotive industry. Today, even compact vehicles have often dozens of interconnected microprocessors with up to several hundred megabytes of software and integrated communication capabilities to the outside world. For commercial vehicles like trucks or high-end vehicles these numbers are substantially higher.
One crucial aspect in vehicles is their security. Whereas automotive safety is a relatively well established (if not necessarily well understood) field, the protection of automotive IT systems against malicious attacks has emerge significantly later. At the same time, security is nowadays considered a mandatory prerequisite for automotive IT applications. Therefore, automotive security contributes to both, reliability and safety, and has created an own ecosystem of approaches, tools, and services.
The escar conference has established itself as the premier forum for information, discussion and exchange of ideas and innovation in automotive security and attracts a broad audience from academia and industry.

Organizing Committee
isits AG International School of IT Security
isits AG International School of IT Security AG has established itself throughout Europe as a vocational education and training institute in the field of Cyber and IT Security.
Moreover, isits AG organizes symposiums, workshops and conferences.
isits AG initiated escar conference in 2003.
ETAS has been a mainstay in the automotive industry for nearly thirty years, designing and producing hardware and software tools for engineers who develop and calibrate electronic control systems. Our tools are widely deployed in automotive and adjacent segments of the embedded industry.
Following the takeover of the ESCRYPT brand, etas acts as the organizer of escar USA.
