The group also discussed how things like an interconnected system in something like a car could pose potential issues as well as how an engineer designing the system should take the overall connectivity of the setup into consideration from a security standpoint. They need to be trained in some basic security code measures. As we get more and more IT, the overall since of privacy gets smaller and smaller.
