Based on our expertise in automotive cybersecurity consulting, we see: There is an enormous need for knowledge to fully understand the requirements of automotive cybersecurity. In order to be able to start immediately with the implementation in practice, help is needed.

ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering, which was officially published end of August 2021 (Read more: ISO/SAE 21434:2021 is now officially published), is the starting point. For OEMs and Tier-N suppliers, the standard provides the basis for a systematic approach to cybersecurity in the automotive industry: at the organizational level, for development projects, for cross-organizational collaboration, for engineering processes, and for individual roles.

For automotive cybersecurity beginners

For more and more automotive specialists, cybersecurity is becoming a new topic on the agenda. For this, our book is the best possible introduction: Learn about all dimensions and dependencies of automotive cybersecurity to be able to shape the practice of cybersecurity

(e.g. functional safety experts entering cybersecurity).

In-depth understanding of automotive cybersecurity

This book is also a valuable resource for anyone who has only been familiar with the topic of automotive cybersecurity on a limited basis and is currently in the process of gaining a broader overall view

(e.g. project managers who are in the topic at the coordination level but are not yet fully familiar with all disciplines).

For those who are responsible for compliance

For decision makers who have the responsibility to establish applied automotive cybersecurity in the organization in order to comply with the applicable standards and regulations, this book offers a unique opportunity to grasp the big picture

(e.g. for new cybersecurity manager positions that need to ensure compliance to the standards).
