TÜV Nord Cybersecurity Engineer (Automotive)
In collaboration with German certification body TÜV Nord, we qualify you with the practical project know-how you require to implement cybersecurity requirements according to the international ISO/SAE 21434 standard. You will also learn how to successfully and effectively apply further relevant guidelines, such as UNECE. The course ends with an examination to become an officially qualified "TÜV Nord Cybersecurity Engineer (Automotive)".
back to Cybersecurity-TrainingsTraining objectives & content
This qualification course allows you to
- Become familiar with the new ISO/SAE 21434 security standard
- Understand regulations, requirements and work outputs
- Understand the background to different types of regulations
- Consolidate your understanding through exercises
- Learn about UNECE WP.29 homologation requirements
- Explore ways to achieve your cybersecurity objectives
This course – which is designed in a close co-operation with the German technical inspectorate and certification body TÜV Nord – equips you with specific insights into different ways to develop cybersecurity requirements in an automotive setting. These include the automotive security standard ISO/SAE 21434 as well as relations to the homologation requirements of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), functional safety (ISO 26262) and the security add-on to Automotive SPICE®.
Based on examples, you will learn how to familiarize yourself with the topic of automotive cybersecurity and acquire the necessary knowledge. You will gain sound insights from Kugler Maag Cie's extensive project practice, which we have gained in numerous improvement projects.

Qualification
Following the course, you can take the exam. This takes place as an open book exam online and under camera supervision of TÜV Nord at a location of your choice.
Once you have successfully passed the exam, you will receive a Letter of Qualification from TUEV Nord stating your qualification as a Cybersecurity Engineer (Automotive).
You will work on an end-to-end example, allowing you to familiarise yourself with the complex area of automotive cybersecurity and the knowledge it requires. You will benefit from detailed insights gained through large-scale business projects conducted by Kugler Maag Cie during numerous improvement projects.
Consider to register for our TARA training additionally. This course will deepen your practical knowledge significantly.
Together with the TUEV Nord certification body we qualify you as a "Cybersecurity Engineer (Automotive)". During the training you will learn how to achieve the required end-to-end security. As a TUEV Nord qualified Cybersecurity Engineer, you will know how ISO/SAE 21434 supports your work and which homologation requirements are imposed by UNECE for your task.
ISO/SAE 21434 has allowed the international standardisation committee to lay a foundation for establishing automotive security as a fixed element of the development process for automotive electronics. The ISO/SAE 21434 standard addresses the central tasks of electronics development and the overall supply chain. To find out more about the upcoming standard, see the interview with security expert Dr Thomas Liedtke.
