As we hand data and control over to the machines for autonomous driving, even if Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still rudimentary, how can businesses maintain proper security controls, asks Andrew Foxcroft, regional director, Radware? Apple recently found itself in the shoes of many other organisations when it discovered that a former employee, working in the tech giant's autonomous vehicle development team, had stolen trade secrets. The hardware engineer planned to take the data and join an intelligent electric vehicle start-up, but his plot was foiled after internal investigators noticed a spike in his network activity. Cases like this are common – in fact, some 30% of CXOs say that insider threats put their companies' security and IP at risk. The act of stealing data shows the competitive nature of being first to launch new technology.
