Seminar Content

This five-day seminar covers all 14 Clauses of the ISO 21434 standard to give those attending the information necessary to understand the standard, and move your organization toward conformance. ISO 21434 is the draft cybersecurity standard that is applied to Cybersecurity Related Systems that include electric/electronic, wired and wireless communication systems installed in production passenger vehicles. The course combines presentations with hands-on work and is conducted in English. There is an optional ISO 21434 Certification exam at the end of the class for those wanting to demonstrate and document their knowledge.

This course combines presentations, along with in-class group exercises to put what you are learning into practice. Concepts are reinforced by a running case study of an air bag system. Forms are used to complete the exercises as a part of the integrated workshops that include Item Definition, Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA), Cybersecurity Goals, CAL levels, Cybersecurity Concept, and Hardware/Software Interface.

Who Should Attend

Those involved in the design, development, and production of electrical and electronic based vehicle products, including the systems, software and hardware engineers, and managers. Basically, all those responsible for the development and implementation of hardware and software systems in motor vehicles.

Participants should be, or plan to be, actively managing, or involved in, or aware of electrical and/or electronic items, systems, or elements that are incorporated in motor vehicles. And have the abilities, education, and experience required for the above roles.

Recommended Training and/or Experience

Participants should be involved in or aware of software and hardware development as it relates to the motor vehicle industry.

Seminar Materials

Each participant will receive a seminar manual including case studies.

Seminar Goals

  • Tailor the necessary activities to support vehicle cybersecurity lifecycle management, development, production, operation, service, and decommissioning
  • Information provided in the class can be used for ISO 21434 implementation
  • Understand cybersecurity aspects of the entire development process including requirements specification, design, implementation, integration, verification, validation, and configuration.
  • Understand the risk-based approach for determining risk classes cybersecurity assurance levels (CALs)
  • Use CALs for achieving an acceptable residual risk
  • Provide requirements for validation and confirmation measures to ensure a sufficient and acceptable level of cybersecurity is being achieved.
