Especially, when cybersecurity rules, responsibilities, and processes need to be established, competence and know-how need to be built up, all while there’s a lack of resources in the relevant responsibilities and management is not aware of the urgency.

Failure to embed cybersecurity that’s linked to all interface processes results in costly risks including:

• isolated cybersecurity approaches, resulting resource inefficiencies
• barriers and non-compliance for existing business relationships, contracts and agreements
• serious consequences in relation to non-compliance with regulatory and legally binding requirements
• factual cybersecurity risks and deficiencies along the product lifecycle, up to the final asset

The current demands for cybersecurity have implications throughout the entire value chain in the automotive industry-not only for original equipment manufacturers, but for every player in the automotive industry including sub-suppliers. It only takes one vulnerability to open your product to cyberattacks and costly damages. Therefore, everyone in the organization must be aware of cybersecurity from concept phase to decommissioning and end of support.

Creating a cybersecure organization is a priority today. To ensure cybersecurity in all levels, dedicated automotive cybersecurity competencies and resources are needed for all employees involved in the design of a vehicle, who additionally must be supported by a company-wide cybersecurity program that proactively secures all production platforms, internal operations, and supply chains.

Cybersecurity incidents, data breaches and successful attacks in recent years have already shown this in practice.
