The State of Cybersecurity for Auto Dealerships 2024.

In 2024, 35% of auto dealers experienced a cyberattack or incident and 92% said it resulted in a negative financial/operational impact. That begs the question: Will your dealership get attacked next? Or is it a matter of when will it happen?

Either way, it’s imperative that you evaluate the state of your security and protect your data from cyberthreats. CDK compiled data from dealership personnel and market research to aid dealers in their cybersecurity strategies. The State of Dealership Cybersecurity 2024 report contains key findings on the:

  • Top threats of 2024
  • Increase in dealership cyberattacks
  • FTC compliance and digitized integrations
  • Cybersecurity investment options
  • Tools and training
  • Layered approach to cybersecurity

There’s no one-size-fits all solution to cybersecurity. Every dealership has specific needs that require a specific approach to suit and protect that operation. CDK is committed to helping dealerships create a secure road map to evaluate and protect their IT infrastructure.
