This session will delve into the core principles of cybersecurity risk assessment as outlined in ISO 21434, a standard specifically tailored for road vehicle systems. Participants will gain insights into the methodologies for identifying potential threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and evaluating the impact of cyber risks on the safety and privacy of automotive systems.

Our expert presenter will guide attendees through the process of risk treatment, highlighting the strategies to mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid risks in accordance with the standard's requirements. The webinar will also explore the importance of establishing a cybersecurity culture within organizations, ensuring that risk assessment and treatment are integral parts of the product lifecycle.

This webinar will introduce the ISO 21434 automotive cyber security standard and will use automotive cyber security examples to guide the attendant through the topics. We will investigate a brief overview of the standard but then spend most of the time on risk assessment (the threat analysis and risk assessment TARA process). We will glance at the required work products and talk about cyber security assessment.

Key takeaways from this webinar will include:

A clear understanding of the risk management practices per the ISO 21434 standard and their significance in the automotive industry.
Practical knowledge on conducting thorough cybersecurity risk assessments.
Effective risk treatment options and their implementation in automotive systems.
Insights into the integration of cybersecurity measures throughout the product development lifecycle.
Strategies for fostering a cybersecurity-aware organizational culture.

This webinar is essential for automotive industry professionals, including manufacturers, suppliers, cybersecurity specialists, and quality assurance managers, who are responsible for the safety and security of automotive products. Watch now to ensure that your organization is equipped to meet the challenges of cybersecurity in the automotive sector and to uphold the highest standards of safety and reliability in your products.
