Automotive Cybersecurity

UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434 - 2 days

Date/Time Location Language
Upon request   English/German

The modern, connected car exposes a large attack surface that can be exploited by potential attackers compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of automotive systems. The training class gives a comprehensive overview of automotive cybersecurity (ACS) for automotive engineers and managers across the supply chain, introducing key concepts like vulnerabilities, attack vectors, threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA), cryptography, security requirements, technical security solutions, and cybersecurity management systems.

The course also covers important trends in automotive E/E, discusses the cybersecurity of critical infrastructures, and takes an in-depth look at the important regulations and standards like UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434. Special topics like Safety-Security Co-Engineering, AI and Cybersecurity, and the cybersecurity of electric cars and autonomous vehicles will provide the class participants with a thorough understanding of future applications and challenges.

Target Audience

This training class is targeted at automotive professionals (component and system engineers, engineering managers, quality, and project managers) involved with the development of security-related automotive E/E systems, future automotive security engineers, as well as managers and operators of automotive security operation centers. The course could be also relevant for IT specialist working at the interface between Car-IT, IT and OT security. Professionals working in the agricultural technology industry will acquire the necessary background to drive the adoption and implementation of ACS standards in their domain.
