At Trend Micro, we\u2019ve always said that cybersecurity is a team sport. But what happens when you put those teams in competition with each other? We believe you create the conditions in which the world\u2019s best hackers thrive. And ultimately, you make the connected world safer in the process.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the philosophy of our Zero Day Initiative\u2019s Pwn2Own competition. For the past 15+ years, teams from across the globe have battled each other for big cash prizes and even bigger industry kudos. Building on our recent events in Miami and Toronto, we\u2019re excited to see what they\u2019ve got planned for the upcoming Vancouver event, including exciting targets like two Tesla vehicles and many other interesting targets.<\/p>\n

Welcoming back Tesla<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla almost single-handedly invented the connected car industry. It knows more than most what\u2019s required to keep one step ahead of the competition and the cybercrime community: rigorous testing and continuous probing for software bugs. We must remember, after all, that a car isn\u2019t just a car anymore. It\u2019s a complex system of IT components and dynamic systems that presents an increasingly attractive attack surface for threat actors.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we have partnered for years with automotive car technology manufacturers and recently launched our VicOne<\/a> subsidiary. And it\u2019s why we\u2019ve welcomed Tesla to Pwn2Own for the past several years. In fact, in 2019, one team won<\/a> the Master of Pwn award, and the Tesla Model 3 they successfully hacked. Last year\u2019s competitors were able to demonstrate the exploitation<\/a> of two unique vulnerabilities in the car\u2019s infotainment system. This year we\u2019ve updated and expanded our target list again to keep pace with the rate of innovation from the connected vehicle giant and so many others.<\/p>\n
