Welcome to escar USA 2026
The Auto Industry’s Leading Cybersecurity Conference
Modern automobiles are complex systems, interacting with their passengers, the environment, infrastructure and each other in robust and subtle ways. Nearly every system in a modern vehicle is computerized, and the complexity and degree of interaction of these systems continues to dramatically increase. That’s why automotive cybersecurity is a crucial, multi-faceted topic with factors common to traditional IT security as well as a variety of automotive-specific elements.
escar USA encourages collaboration among leaders in the auto cybersecurity community – industry, academia, government – to discuss and address any elements related to the evolving world of vehicle cybersecurity. And that’s what we have in store for you this year with our impressive line-up of speakers.
We hope you enjoy the program and networking opportunities, especially our evening reception, and don’t forget to visit our exhibitors.
Special Note: escar Europe 2026 is November 17 and 18 in Bonn, Germany and online.
