In this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Founder and CEO Joe Saunders and returning guest Hemanth Tadepalli, Senior Cybersecurity and Compliance Manager at May Mobility, to explore why cybersecurity and safety are becoming inseparable as software takes control of vehicles and other critical systems.
Drawing on his experience securing autonomous mobility platforms, Hemanth explains how connected vehicles have expanded the attack surface across software, cloud infrastructure, APIs, sensors, AI models, and supply chains. Joe explores how organizations can build resilience into software, protect legacy and resource-constrained systems, and move beyond the costly cycle of finding, patching, and deploying fixes.
Together, Joe and Hemanth discuss:
- Why cyber-physical systems require a different security mindset
- How autonomous vehicles connect cybersecurity with physical safety
- Why compliance should be a baseline—not the end goal
- How AI is changing both cyberattacks and defense
- Where software resilience and runtime protection fit
- Why public trust depends on consistency, transparency, and safety
- How security, engineering, and compliance teams can work together
Whether you secure autonomous vehicles, industrial equipment, medical devices, or other critical systems, this episode offers practical lessons for building software that is secure, resilient, and worthy of public trust.
