Increasingly connected and automated vehicles have made cybersecurity a core challenge in the automotive industry. Regulations on and standards about vehicle related information security are being formulated and improved by many counties and regions to meet cybersecurity challenges and effectively monitor the compliance of regulations. While changing the automotive industry and accelerating technological innovation, new technologies also pose unprecedented challenges to vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. 

To help companies meet these challenges, TÜV SÜD partnered with SAE International to hold this training. Officially released by ISO and SAE on August 31, 2021, ISO / SAE 21434 Standard is the first standard to address road vehicle cybersecurity issues. It marks that the technical compliance and supervision of automotive cybersecurity has been normalized. The standard defines cybersecurity risk management requirements on road vehicles, their components and entire projects, and provides developers with a comprehensive approach to implementing security measures throughout the supply chain.
