Modern vehicles are complex, connected systems with an ever-expanding attack surface. In this environment, documentation alone is no longer sufficient — to meet regulatory requirements, cybersecurity must be demonstrated in practice.

Testing is carried out under witnessed conditions, with each step documented and reproducible. These tests play a critical role in vehicle type approval under UNECE R155 and have effectively become the vehicle’s digital crash test.

We have extensive experience in penetration testing of vehicles and automotive components, including expert advisory services and the execution of witnessed tests for vehicle type approval.

Robust Cybersecurity is the Vehicle's New Airbag

Digital protection is now as critical as steel, airbags and crumple zones. Regulations require evidence, and real-world testing determines whether a vehicle’s cybersecurity truly holds.

New international regulations are raising the bar for cybersecurity in the automotive industry, with significant risk for manufacturers that fail to act early.

A systematic, structured approach to cybersecurity is increasingly critical for faster approvals, a secure market launch, and maintaining competitiveness.

In this article, we describe how these requirements impact vehicle development in practice, what is needed to demonstrate compliance during type approval, and why many manufacturers must move away from ad-hoc measures toward a traceable, lifecycle-wide cybersecurity process.

Oft hört man: Eine #isms ist für unter Unternehmen. Antwort: Ja, aber #informationssicherheit ist auch für #Verwaltungen, #Behörden und #Bürger:innen wichtig! Und mit einem #csms kommt das Thema zu uns allen. Es soll Fahrzeuge sicherer machen und die Insassen schützen. Denn stellt euch vor, jemand anderes steuert euer Auto aus der Ferne während ihr darin sitzt oder ihr könnt es nicht starten, da die Daten verschlüsselt wurden. Denkt dabei auch an #Feuerwehr und #Krankenwagen #iso21434 #cybersec
@echo_pbreyer Diese Forderung lässt sich auch aus der relativ neuen #ISO21434 ableiten. Es ist ein Angriffsvektor der reduziert werden muss. #csms #cybersecurity #unecer155

Attended to Automotive Security Research Group (Stuttgart) ‏meetup 21 to learn more about the upcoming #ISO21434 presented by Stefan Rave.

Really interesting insight to #automotive #cybersecurity and what's going on in the #carindustry thanks to #ASRG
