ISO/SAE 21434 compliant threat analysis and risk assessment
The increasing digitalization and networking of road vehicles is associated with both opportunities and risks. It is essential for the automotive industry to protect both vehicles and their occupants from the risk of cyber attacks. As vehicle manufacturers rely on specialized suppliers for safety-relevant components and systems, these suppliers must demonstrate the use of a cybersecurity management system (CSMS).
ISO/SAE 21434 is primarily concerned with the identification and assessment of critical elements and their risks throughout the lifecycle of organizations’ systems and processes to ensure that cybersecurity is “built in” from the outset. The standard focuses on “threat analysis and risk assessment” (TARA) methods to ensure the effectiveness of organizations' cybersecurity management systems.
