This Automotive Cybersecurity course focuses on securing modern vehicles and automotive systems against cyber threats. It is designed for learners and professionals interested in automotive engineering, embedded systems, and regulatory cybersecurity standards.
The course begins with an introduction to automotive cybersecurity concepts, explaining why connected and software-driven vehicles require strong security controls. It then explores cybersecurity engineering in the automotive industry, including how security is integrated into vehicle design and development processes.
A major part of the course focuses on regulatory frameworks such as UNECE regulations and ISO/SAE 21434, which define global standards for automotive cybersecurity compliance. Learners also study Software Update Management Systems (SUMS), which ensure secure and reliable software updates in vehicles.
The course introduces key risk assessment techniques such as TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), helping identify and evaluate potential security risks in automotive systems. It also covers Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS), which guide organizations in maintaining ongoing security compliance.
In addition, the course explains industry practices for controlling project risks and ensuring secure integrated automotive development. It highlights how modern vehicles are protected from hacking threats, unauthorized access, and system manipulation.
By completing this course, learners gain a strong understanding of automotive cybersecurity standards, regulatory compliance, and real-world vehicle security engineering practices.
