McAfee opens lab to demo threats from lock picking to medical device hacking

McAfee isn't known for its work on adversarial machine learning on autonomous vehicles. Yet at the new McAfee Advanced Threat Research Lab in Hillsboro, Oregon, automotive research is on full display. The lab is equipped with sensors used for vehicle autonomy, as well as an operational dashboard for an electronic vehicle. The lab even has two full-sized garage doors to roll in cars for live demos. Automotive attacks are "certainly an area we may be interested in looking into, and it's certainly an area that's emerging as a significant attack vector," Steve Povolny, head of Advanced Threat Research at McAfee, told ZDNet.
