Abstract
Many modern devices and machines (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) devices and connected vehicles (CV)) include wireless interfaces that permit external devices to communicate with the devices and machines. These wireless interfaces can be attacked by malicious actors who can affect the operation of the devices or machines. Embodiments herein describe a user controlled actuator (e.g., a knob, set of buttons, switches, etc.) for responding to a wireless attack. Using the actuator, the user can set a response level depending on the threat. Each threat level can elicit a predefined action or set of actions from a control system in the device or machine.
