1. A vehicle network security arrangement for a vehicle comprising:
a network vulnerable to attacks from at least one threat wherein the network is connected to a diagnostics port;
one or more external devices connected to the network through the diagnostics port using one of a wireless connection or a physical connection between the one or more external devices and the diagnostics port, wherein the one or more external devices send one or more communications to the network that include a source of at least one threat, wherein the one or more external devices transmit one or more communications to the network, wherein the one or more communications is a source of the at least one threat;
a cyber security device with a connection to the network that permits the cyber security device to receive data being sent to and data transmitted from the network, wherein the cyber security device includes a memory and an anomaly detection system (ADS) that detects the at least one threat in the data being sent to the network and the data being sent from the network;
a data log on the memory of the cyber security device, wherein the data log contains information concerning the at least one threat and the data log is accessible by a user accessing the memory of the cyber security device wherein the cyber security device includes one or more measurement sensors on the cyber security device that generate sensor data that augments the data monitored on the network and then logs condition based maintenance messages on the memory of the cyber security device relating to the maintenance needs of the vehicle.
