2 Organization Profile and Problem Statement: Tesla Tesla, Inc. is an American electric car and sustainable energy firm formed in 2003 by Elon Musk, JB Straubel, Martin Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Wright (Hadzigeorgiou, 2021). Tesla, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, designs, manufactures, and distributes electric automobiles, energy storage systems, and solar energy solutions (Hadzigeorgiou, 2021). The firm is well-known for its groundbreaking electric vehicles, including the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y, as well as its developments in autonomous driving technology (Hadzigeorgiou, 2021). Electric vehicles (EVs), which have no emissions from the exhaust and offer sustainable transportation options, are Tesla’s main product. Their cars are renowned for their outstanding efficiency, extended range, and cutting-edge safety measures. Tesla also provides energy storage solutions, including the Powerpack for industrial and utility-scale applications and the Powerwall for domestic usage (Linja et al., 2022). To encourage the use of clean and renewable energy sources, the firm also offers solar energy solutions, installing and servicing solar panels for residences, companies, and utilities. The insider threat comprises workers or contractors with permission to access the company’s computing resources and is the internal threat actor that can adversely affect Tesla’s security posture. Data breaches, intellectual property theft, or the interruption of crucial systems may be caused by disgruntled insiders or those who unwittingly abuse their rights. Conversely, skilled cybercriminal groups or state-sponsored hackers serve as the external threat actors (Linja et al., 2022). These actors may use advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware attacks, or supply chain hacks to attack Tesla’s valuable intellectual property, consumer data, or financial information. Improving Tesla’s security posture necessitates vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and other security evaluations. Vulnerability scanning uses automated scans to find

3 system, network, or software flaws (Linja et al., 2022). To prevent vulnerabilities from being exploited, this enables proactive vulnerability fixing. To find security flaws and vulnerabilities in Tesla’s infrastructure and apps, penetration testing mimics actual cyber- attacks by approved ethical hackers. The outcomes guide the adoption of suitable protections and prioritized repair actions to secure crucial assets and data. The potential of data breaches and intellectual property theft in Tesla’s IT resources has to be dealt with. To protect customer data, intellectual property, and sensitive company information, it is crucial to implement robust cybersecurity measures in light of the growing sophistication of cyber attacks and the value of Tesla’s assets. By fixing this issue, Tesla may increase its resistance to unwanted access, data breaches, and potential business interruptions, safeguarding its priceless assets.
