“The recent cyber attacks forcing thousands of auto retailers to disrupt their back-office operations is more than just a headache,” said Botdoc CEO, Karl Falk. “This event is a stark reminder of not only the significant dangers associated with cyber risk, but also one that illustrates how dealerships often have vulnerabilities in their businesses continuity plans aside from potential fines and cyber risks. ”Through the partnership with KPA, Botdoc provides a secure way for automotive dealerships to transport confidential information with end-to-end encryption through two versions of its product: Botdoc Lite and Botdoc Connect.
