ISO 21434
ISO/SAE 21434 is an international standard that provides a framework for addressing cybersecurity risks throughout the lifecycle of automotive systems. It defines requirements and guidelines for managing cybersecurity in road vehicles, from the concept phase to design, development, production, operation, and decommissioning. The standard aims to ensure that cybersecurity is integrated into the entire product development process, helping organizations identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, respond to incidents, and continuously improve their cybersecurity posture in response to evolving threats.
Clause 8 Continual cybersecurity activities
Clause 8 of ISO/SAE 21434 emphasizes the importance of implementing continual cybersecurity activities throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle. These activities include monitoring for new vulnerabilities, assessing the impact of emerging threats, and responding to incidents in a timely manner. By establishing processes for continuous improvement, organizations can adapt to the evolving cybersecurity landscape and ensure that their risk management strategies remain effective. The outputs of these activities help maintain a high level of cybersecurity, enabling ongoing protection of automotive systems against potential attacks.
