Abstract:

As vehicles become more digitally integrated, cybersecurity risks continue to expand, presenting challenges not just in vehicle design but throughout their entire lifecycle. The threat landscape in automotive cybersecurity is vast, from software vulnerabilities in ECUs to risks from over-the-air updates, communication systems, and supply chain weaknesses. As modern vehicles integrate into the wider mobility ecosystem, manufacturers must adapt their security strategies to mitigate these ever-evolving threats.

In this webinar, ETAS experts discuss the pressing cybersecurity challenges faced by manufacturers and software developers. Our panel will explore the four key security principles that guide today’s most advanced cybersecurity strategies: Security by Design, Defense in Depth, Risk Management & Monitoring, and Organizational Security Management. Join us as we examine how these principles can reshape traditional development processes, whether through DevOps or the V-model, and ensure a secure automotive future.

Key takeaways:

• Understanding the threat landscape: Learn about the top cybersecurity threats impacting modern vehicles, from software vulnerabilities to supply chain risks, and how they affect safety and reliability.
• Gain deep insights into the principles of cybersecurity: Deep dive into the four security principles: Security by Design, Defense in Depth, Risk Management & Monitoring, and Organizational Security Management, and how they create a robust defense for connected vehicles.
• Evolving development processes: Compare the DevOps and V-model approaches to automotive software development, and how these frameworks can be enhanced to better address cybersecurity challenges.
• Regulatory implications: Gain insights into the latest regulatory requirements for automotive cybersecurity and how they impact manufacturers and developers globally.
• Future-proofing automotive cybersecurity: Understand the importance of proactive cybersecurity planning across the vehicle lifecycle, from manufacturing to end-of-life, and how a shift in mindset can help organizations stay ahead of potential threats.
