Data Safety

摘要

HOW MANY POLICE ACADEMIES train officers for these scenarios? Officers are sitting in an undercover police car. staking out a drug kingpin. Out of nowhere, the car is surrounded by armed men because the bad guys hacked into the police network to find out vehicle locations. What about a terrorist attack response that is dramatically slowed down because police vehicles are remotely disabled, wherever they sit? Today's increasingly connected vehicles provide a trove of data and insight, but that brings another worn, especially for law enforcement fleet professionals: The valuable data also might be of interest to criminals. "We are very concerned about the security of our vehicles' locations and activity information being protected at all times," said NAFA Regular Member Tim Coxwell, CAFM, Fleet Management Division Director for Leon County (Florida) Sheriff's Office. "We can see where potential criminal market demand for this information could outpace the recognition of the value of protecting our vehicle locations, telematics, and patrolling patterns by OFM suppliers and law enforcement administrations. If we can see this information via telematics, then a criminal element can see it during a hack."
