Abstract
There is provided a method for identifying malicious activity that changes the integrity of data sent out from a vehicle, comprising: intercepting, by an output data monitoring agent that monitors data sent out from the vehicle to an external receiving computing unit using a communication interface in communication with a network; intercepting, by at least one sensor data monitoring agent that monitors sensor data outputted by at least one sensor associated with the vehicle; monitoring the integrity of the data sent out by the vehicle by analyzing the data collected by the output data monitoring agent with the sensor data collected by the at least one sensor data monitoring agent to identify a mismatch; and identifying an indication of malicious activity that changed the data sent out from the vehicle relative to the data sensed by the at least one sensor.
