As dealership technology becomes more connected — from dealer management systems to remote support tools — the attack surface facing dealers has expanded significantly. In this briefing, we will provide a current threat landscape update focused on the technologies dealers rely on most: VPNs, remote access tools, and identity and access management — and examine how AI-powered attacks are changing the game.
We'll walk through recent real-world incidents, including SSL VPN compromises, abuse of legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, and fake CAPTCHA-based social engineering campaigns that trick users into running attacker- controlled commands. We'll also look at how artificial intelligence is accelerating attacker capabilities — enabling faster, more automated probing of access controls and perimeter defenses at a scale that was not previously possible.

A recurring theme throughout the session: over-permissioned access and excessive administrative privilege are what allow these attacks to succeed once initial access is gained. The session closes with practical, proactive recommendations dealers can act on now — least-privilege access models, RMM monitoring strategies, and concrete steps to harden remote access infrastructure against both traditional and AI-augmented threats.
KEY TAKEAWAYS | What Dealers Will Learn :
- Identity is the new perimeter
- AI accelerates attacker speed
- Least privilege limits damage
- Harden remote access now
