CRASH COURSE ON AUTOMOTIVE SECURITY

Connected systems are increasingly becoming the focus of threats from cyberspace. This module is targeted at people new to the area, offering a fundamental understanding of potential threats to vehicle electronics and IT infrastructures. It is also an opportunity to look at the different types of security standards used in the automotive industry. Practical guidance is given in order to discuss what you can do to deal with such threats.

  • Crash course on automotive security

    Training objectives & content

    This two-day module provides you with a fast-track understanding of the fundamentals of automotive security from the perspective of the development department: what do you need to keep in mind as the person in charge of delivering secure systems? To do this, you will gain a fundamental understanding of the attack scenarios that pose a threat to automotive electronics. You will also learn how to use systematic risk assessment to understand the environment your systems operate within and spot potential threats in advance. 

    Understanding the first steps provides you with an entry point for integrating automotive security into your project.

    Also interested in the impact technological requirements have on what you can do to protect your systems? If you are, we also recommend the AUTOMOTIVE SECURITY 2-in-1 COURSE. The 2-in-1 course also covers module two of this fundamentals course. 

    CRASH COURSE ON SECURITY (AUTOMOTIVE SECURITY – MODULE 1)

    You will work through potential attack scenarios in order to recognise vulnerabilities and fend them off in advance. Introducing safeguards begins with methodical systems engineering – secure programs, secure code and other aspects of functional safety. To enable you 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 associated protection goals: data transfer, confidentiality, integrity and availability.
      Your first step will be to learn about effective control mechanisms and ways to establish a secure environment on both a technical and organisational level in order to minimise uncertainty.
    • 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 maintain an overview of security activities 
    • Hacking und 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 risk management
      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 privacy. Tools: 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.
