Connected vehicle security is critical in telematics environments where real-time tracking and IoT systems operate at scale. As a result, resilience across connected platforms becomes a business necessity rather than a technical option.
For Ituran, a global leader in telematics operating across Latin America and Europe, securing a complex ecosystem of IoT devices, infrastructure, and connected services required both technical depth and strategic vision.
As the largest OEM supplier of telematics in the automotive industry, Ituran operates across more than 20 countries, delivering stolen vehicle recovery, fleet management, accident assistance, and data integration services.
This scale introduced key security challenges:
- Securing GPS fleet systems against lateral movement and advanced threats.
- Protecting IoT devices across their lifecycle, from hardware to firmware and connectivity.
- Adapting to evolving regulatory frameworks and vehicle cybersecurity standards.
- Increasing risk visibility across a geographically distributed infrastructure.
In a sector where real-time tracking and response are critical, service disruption directly impacts customers and brand reputation.
Ituran partnered with NEVERHACK to strengthen its connected vehicle security posture and improve organizational maturity.
The collaboration included:
- Conducting advanced penetration testing on global infrastructure to uncover vulnerabilities beyond automated tools.
- Delivering actionable remediation plans implemented within days.
- Hardening environments and reviewing system architectures across telematics platforms.
- Supporting the evolution toward a more structured and proactive cybersecurity model.
- Providing rapid support during urgent security situations to ensure operational continuity.
The focus was not only on identifying weaknesses but on embedding long-term resilience into connected systems.
The partnership delivered measurable impact across three main areas:
- Faster incident response times.
- Greater visibility into enterprise-wide risks.
- A shift from reactive cybersecurity management to a more proactive, strategic posture.
By strengthening connected vehicle cybersecurity, Ituran reinforced the reliability of its telematics services and protected the trust of customers operating in high-demand, real-time environments.
Looking ahead
As connected mobility continues to evolve, priorities include:
• Securing the full IoT device lifecycle, including supply chain risk.
• Automating anomaly detection and real-time response using AI-driven analytics.
• Strengthening data governance for sensitive geolocation and usage data.
• Running advanced cyber crisis simulations to prepare for emerging threats.
The shared objective remains clear: ensuring that innovation in connected mobility never comes at the cost of security.
