Secure your automotive systems against evolving cyber threats with this comprehensive self-assessment framework designed for cybersecurity professionals leading automotive security initiatives. Built for engineers, compliance leads, and security architects, this programme delivers practical strategies to strengthen authentication mechanisms across complex vehicle ecosystems—including in-vehicle networks, V2X communications, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and backend infrastructure.

Through three targeted modules, you’ll gain actionable insights to align technical implementation with regulatory standards and supply chain realities:

  • Module 1: Threat Modelling and Risk Assessment for In-Vehicle Networks
    Systematically identify and prioritise authentication risks across CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and wireless interfaces. Evaluate STRIDE or TARA methodologies in line with OEM compliance and supplier coordination needs. Map attack surfaces by ECU role and integrate findings directly into ISO/SAE 21434 risk treatment plans. Mitigate risks from legacy systems and compromised aftermarket components while optimising anomaly detection to reduce false positives.
  • Module 2: Secure Boot and Chain of Trust Implementation
    Establish hardware-rooted trust using HSMs, TPMs, or PUFs tailored to ECU cost and cryptographic agility. Define robust signature verification policies across bootloader, OS, and applications with secure key rotation. Prevent firmware rollback attacks with monotonic counters or timestamping, and enable safe field updates via dual-bank storage with pre-activation authentication. Ensure secure key management during manufacturing using split-knowledge protocols and HSMs.
  • Module 3: ECU-to-ECU Authentication over In-Vehicle Networks
    Make informed decisions between symmetric and asymmetric authentication for CAN FD and high-speed networks. Evaluate trade-offs in performance, scalability, and key distribution to maintain real-time integrity without compromising system reliability.

Equip your team with a structured, auditable approach to automotive cybersecurity that supports compliance, enhances system resilience, and strengthens supplier engagement. This self-assessment tool is essential for organisations building cyber-secure vehicle architectures in a connected world.
