Aeris Chief Product Officer Jon Connet to Spotlight How Automotive Manufacturers can Leverage Network-Based Controls to Reduce Cyber Threats
CHICAGO – June 2, 2025 – Aeris, a global leader in secure cellular IoT platform services, today announced its Chief Product Officer Jon Connet will speak at AutoTech 2025, as the company showcases its global IoT and security capabilities for automotive OEMs, with global tier 1 carrier partners. Aeris currently works with more than 50 automotive industry OEMs who leverage Aeris and connect more than 21 million vehicles around the world.
As the automotive industry races toward a more connected future, vehicle cybersecurity has never been more crucial—or more complex. Connet will speak about securing vehicles during his talk “Enhancing Security with a Network-Centric Approach” on June 5, 2025. Connet’s session will spotlight how automotive manufacturers can evolve and innovate using network-based controls as a first-class mechanism for mitigating cyber threats. Unlike agent-based or firewall-dependent models, a network-centric approach offers more scalable, adaptive, and cost-effective solutions — especially critical as connected vehicles span regions, generations, and service providers.
“At Aeris, we have a security story that is unique and critical for automotive manufacturers that protects their connected vehicles and helps them deliver engaging driving experiences,” said Connet. “I’m excited to speak at AutoTech and to share how automotive partners can build new revenue streams and use data more efficiently and intelligently to improve their vehicle’s connected capabilities and competitive edge. With a network-centric approach, enterprises can improve visibility, enhance cybersecurity and reduce complexity and costs, enabling a better and safer end customer experience.”
“AutoTech 2025 offers a great opportunity for Aeris to showcase Aeris IoT Watchtower™, our class-leading IoT cybersecurity solution for automakers,” said Aeris CEO Aziz Benmalek. “Our solution proactively identifies anomalies and connectivity issues, enabling us to help automotive manufacturers to stay ahead of the curve with data-driven insights.”
Aeris already provides services to more than 50 automotive OEMs, in which several including Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Volkswagen Group of America leverage the Aeris Mobility Suite portfolio, a cloud-agnostic platform enabling automotive OEMs to deploy and scale connected vehicle programs globally. The suite offers a range of capabilities, including real-time IoT device management, a library of ready-to-deploy connected vehicle applications, service management and an analytics platform to collect all telemetric data.
