Automotive Security 2-in-1 course
As everything becomes more and more connected, cyberattacks pose an increasing threat to vehicles. This is the starting point for our comprehensive training. Our courses provide a detailed overview of standards and different methods, also providing beginners with tips on building security know-how step by step (Module 1). You will also gain insights into the technology used to secure connected vehicles (Module 2). Practical instructions are also part and parcel of this combined course.
BACK TO SECURITY-TRAININGSTraining objectives & content
Training is organised as a three-day intensive course to provide you with insights into the fundamental requirements of automotive security.
Perspectives
- From the angle of a development department with a clear mandate to deliver safe systems (Module 1)
- From a technological standpoint, looking at the most effective way to design such systems (Module 2)
On the first two days, you will become familiar with risk scenarios and the context of potential attacks. This will involve taking a close look at understanding the kind of situations in which attacks take place and how to recognise threats using risk assessment. You will also discuss the differences and overlaps between the tasks of privacy and functional safety (ISO 26262).
To counter these threats, the third day looks at technical measures. This gives you detailed insights into the backbone technology of connected IT infrastructures and the context in which connected vehicles travel.
A section looking at first steps in automotive security provides you with practical pointers on introducing automotive security to your projects.
TARGET GROUP OF THE FUNDAMENTALS COURSE ON CYBERSECURITY
Employees who need comprehensive insights into threat scenarios, defence strategies and a fundamental, end-to-end understanding of involved technologies.
- Especially product development engineers, project managers, and specialists who will be responsible for security tasks in the future.
- No prior knowledge in the security environment is required, but an interest in and understanding of technical interrelationships is an advantage.
Whether its certification training you need or an individual workshop, you always benefit from the full advantages of our know-how. We will design the right training to match your needs, for you (individually) as an expert, or as an exclusive in-house course for your company. Our experts offer all courses in German and English.

DAY 1 AND 2: OVERVIEW, FUNDAMENTALS AND STANDARDS (MODULE 1)
You will work through the potential attack scenarios in order to identify and address vulnerabilities in advance. This includes human intervention and how to introduce safeguards based on methodical systems engineering – safe programming, safe code and aspects of functional safety. To do this, we introduce you to the fundamentals of different methods and relevant standards.
- Information security and managing cybersecurity
You will look at uncertainty and gain a fundamental understanding of how to determine and define the scope of security – from information and IT security to cybersecurity and the aims of providing protection: data transfers, confidentiality, integrity and availability.
To minimise uncertainty, you will be introduced to the initial effective control mechanisms that allow you to safeguard security in technical terms on an organisational level. - Privacy
You will gain a fundamental understanding of the requirements of European General Data Protection Regulations with respect to vehicle development. You will also be introduced to the potential traps that await you when processing personal user data.
First steps – Safeguarding the privacy of vehicle functions - Functional safety and security
You will look at functional safety and security as two sides of the same coin during the lifetime of a vehicle. As well as allowing you to understand different areas of overlap, you will also understand various ways of looking at and dealing with the two user safety concepts. - Automotive standards.
Development according to the industry standard Automotive SPICE® works well in complement to automotive security safeguards. The links between these standards and their influence on automotive electronics are also of interest: SAE J3061TM, FIPS, NIST SP 800-53, FIPP, EVITA and a first look at the pending security norm ISO/SAE 21434.
First steps: recommendations that help you maintain an overview of your security activities. - Hacking and automotive hacks
Gain an understanding of the reasons for hacking, what hackers hope to achieve and what makes them tick. This includes looking at threat categories according to the STRIDE model. The emphasis lies on the particular features of vehicles, such as CAN, automotive ethernet and control unit functions that are particularly at risk. - Security standards and managing risk
You will become familiar with the security standards that are relevant to the automotive sector and understand the differences between conducting a risk analysis on security, functional safety and data protection. (MS SDL, CC, ISA/IEC 62443, 27k family, BSI. For risk management: STRIDE, DREAD, CERT-X, ISA/IEC 62443-3-2, ISO 27005, BSI 200-3, NIST SP 800-30, ISO/SAE 21434, OWASP, SAMM. Threat analysis: MITRE, NIST, NVD. Methods: security FMEA, ATA)
First steps: suggested procedure for integrating risk analysis into your product life cycle
DAY 3: THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF AUTOMOTIVE SECURITY (MODULE 2)
- The need for security in vehicle design
You will gain insights into the encryption of communication between vehicle components (intra-vehicle) and between vehicles (inter-vehicle), and the necessary authentications. These include the protection of updates, privacy issues in statistical data collection, the impact of firewalls and VPNs (intra-vehicle and inter-vehicle), as well as firewalls, VPNs and encryption in telemetry applications. - Fundamentals of encryption technology
You deal with symmetric algorithms such as ciphers (block and stream ciphers), the problems encountered with the symmetric key exchange and brute-force attacks on connected vehicles and their infrastructures. Also on the agenda: asymmetric algorithms, including public and private keys, man-in-the-middle attacks, checksum protection, digital signatures and public key infrastructures. - Firewalls in IP-based networks
You will gain a basic understanding of firewall topologies, perimeter firewalls, DMZ and security zones, as well as internal firewalls. In addition, you will encounter firewall typologies for layer architectures based on OSI: we will talk about filters for MAC addresses and IP, data packets (stateless and stateful) as well as application-related firewalls and proxies. - Privacy and anonymity
Privacy and anonymity are important topics for anonymisation proxies and onion routing. This theme is also rounded off by virtual private networks. You will learn more about basic VPN design, be shown a comparison of OpenVPN and IPSEC, and then learn more about further developments in VPN technology.
