Automotive cybersecurity assessment (ISO 21434)
Challenges in automotive cybersecurity
Modern vehicles are increasingly connected, autonomous, and software-driven – making cybersecurity a critical aspect of safety and compliance. As threats evolve and vehicles become more complex, automotive manufacturers and suppliers must ensure that cybersecurity risks are addressed throughout the product lifecycle.
The international standard ISO/SAE 21434 defines the framework for managing automotive cybersecurity risks from concept to decommissioning. Compliance is not only becoming a contractual and regulatory requirement, but also fundamental to protecting users, reputations, and business continuity.
