WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The
Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes Bosch, Cooper Standard,
Honeywell, Hyundai Mobis, Lear Corporation, LG Electronics and NXP Semiconductors as original equipment supplier members. The
inclusion of these companies exemplifies Auto-ISAC's continued efforts to promote collaboration between Tier 1 suppliers and
automobile manufacturers around vehicle cybersecurity.
"We look forward to working together with Bosch, Cooper Standard, Honeywell, Hyundai Mobis,
Lear Corporation, LG Electronics and NXP Semiconductors to advance vehicle cybersecurity protections," said Jeff Massimilla of General Motors, who serves as the organization's Vice Chairman. "Each of these new members

Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers in August 2015 to establish a global information sharing
community to promote vehicle cybersecurity. Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence
about potential cyber threats, vulnerabilities and incidents related to the connected vehicle; its secure intelligence sharing
portal allows members to anonymously submit and receive information that helps them more effectively respond to cyber
threats.
In 2016, Auto-ISAC published the Automotive Cybersecurity Best Practices Executive Summary , which outlines Auto-ISAC's informational guides that cover organizational and technical
aspects of vehicle cybersecurity, including incident response, collaboration and engagement with appropriate third parties,
governance, risk management, security by design, threat detection and protection, and training and awareness.
Auto-ISAC members represent more than 99 percent of light-duty vehicles on the road in North
America, and recently expanded membership eligibility to include heavy-duty vehicles, commercial fleet managers, and
carriers. It also has global representation from companies in Europe and Asia.
