Security

By default, the vehicle controller software uses a secure connection. For information about connection types, see the Product Description document for your vehicle controller software. If the connection type or application changes, the vehicle controller software can become less secure.

A poorly designed U-Zone application can introduce IT security risks.

The responsibility for security of U-Zone applications lies solely with the U-Zone developer.
