Overcoming Automotive Security Challenges Across the Industry

With the development of highly sophisticated technology and increased threat potential, the automotive industry is facing new security challenges. Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers must adhere to advanced security requirements during the development of vehicles and required components.

Standards such as United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) regulation 155 (R155) and R156 address cybersecurity-relevant considerations during the development, design, and implementation of automotive products, referencing the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 21434 standard. Other notable developments include SAE J3101 security requirements for hardware components, as well as a chipset-oriented common criteria protection profile for vehicle-to-everything (V2X).

Assess your products, components, and development cycles against these standards with the automotive security services team from Riscure, now part of Keysight. Our automotive and security experts support vehicle manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers to ensure customer safety and compliance with current and upcoming automotive security requirements. Protect against intellectual property (IP) theft and reverse engineering with testing for hardware level attacks that aim to extract firmware.

Guidance and Review for Automotive Security Solutions

Whether your team is developing new automotive solutions or performing security reviews for existing ones, we provide threat analysis training and review services to guide your evaluation process. Get an extensive review of individual components and the whole system, including:

  • System-on-chip (SOC) and electronic control unit (ECU) microcontroller
  • Attack surface of communication protocols and automotive network design
  • Secure boot and cryptographic functionality
  • Robustness of countermeasures
  • Review of trusted execution environment (TEE) and operating system (OS)

Our market-focused security training, tools, security assessments, and advisory services provide a holistic approach to help confirm the risk level associated with your solution.

Automotive Security Examination and Verification Support

Simply adding security features won’t make your automotive solution secure, even if you’ve implemented secure boot or used a hardware security model (HSM) and a TEE. Incorporate security from the development process onward, with threat modeling and secure design, as well as testing and verification along each stage of the development path.

For engineers and connected vehicle professionals seeking to protect vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) deployments, we draw from extensive experience in secure communication protocols, including secure over-the-air (OTA) updates. We not only will review the design, but also effectively test for cryptographic robustness.
