What Happened

Torc Robotics, a self-driving vehicle technology company, announced on August 3, 2026, that it has joined the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC), a global member-driven organization dedicated to cybersecurity collaboration across the automotive industry. The announcement was made from Blacksburg, Virginia.

Cybersecurity isn’t added at the end of development; it’s built into the product from the design stage. As we prepare to commercialize and scale autonomous trucking, participating in Auto-ISAC helps us strengthen our approach in collaboration with the broader autonomous industry, ensuring our product is designed to address evolving cyber threats throughout its lifecycle.
Mike Westra, Senior Director of Product Cybersecurity at Torc Robotics

Torc will collaborate with automakers, suppliers and commercial vehicle organizations to share cyber threat intelligence, contribute to emerging best practices and help strengthen the resilience of connected vehicle technologies. Through its membership, Torc will participate in Auto-ISAC working groups and collaborate with industry peers on cybersecurity guidance, information sharing and best practices for connected and autonomous vehicle systems.

Delivering autonomous trucks at commercial scale requires disciplined engineering across safety, security, reliability and operations. Our participation in Auto-ISAC strengthens that work by helping ensure cybersecurity advances alongside the broader technology and industry ecosystem.
Mike Avitabile, Chief Engineering Officer at Torc
The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, and no organization can stay ahead of it alone. By joining Auto-ISAC, Torc is strengthening an industry-wide community dedicated to sharing cyber threat intelligence, advancing best practices and supporting the secure deployment of autonomous commercial vehicles.
