ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Road vehicles – Cybersecurity engineering
The standard aims to ensure that E/E systems are designed and developed in a way that can effectively counter the latest cyberattack technologies.
ISO/SAE 21434:2021 provides a framework for managing cybersecurity risk in the development, manufacture and operation of series-produced E/E systems for road vehicles, including their components and interfaces. It defines the engineering requirements for managing cybersecurity risks throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
The standard provides terms, objectives, requirements and guidelines related to cybersecurity in engineering as a basis for a unified approach throughout the supply chain. It also highlights the importance of a collaborative approach by stakeholders involved in the development, production and operation of road vehicle E/E systems to ensure that cybersecurity requirements are met.
ISO/SAE 21434 defines a risk-based approach to cybersecurity that includes identifying, assessing, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. It also provides guidance on cybersecurity incident management, including incident response planning, incident reporting, and incident analysis.
Overall, ISO/SAE 21434:2021 provides a comprehensive framework for managing the cybersecurity risks of series-produced road vehicle E/E systems, including their components and interfaces. By following the standard's guidelines, vehicle manufacturers and operators can ensure that their vehicles are secure and protected against cyber threats. This, in turn, will help improve overall vehicle security and increase road traffic safety and passenger security.
