Equip your automotive cybersecurity team with a comprehensive, industry-aligned framework to safeguard control units across the entire vehicle lifecycle. This self-assessment programme delivers the same depth as a multi-session technical workshop with a leading OEM, enabling your organisation to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate cyber risks in real-world automotive systems.

Through structured modules, your team will gain practical expertise in:

  • Threat modelling using STRIDE to systematically uncover vulnerabilities in CAN, LIN, and Ethernet-connected control units, with a focus on spoofing, tampering, and unauthorised data exposure.
  • Integrating ISO/SAE 21434 risk workflows across development, deployment, and decommissioning phases, ensuring compliance and robust risk scoring for exploitability and impact.
  • Defining attack surface boundaries for domain controllers by evaluating OEM specifications and third-party integration points, reducing exposure points in complex architectures.
  • Designing secure control unit architectures with hardware security modules (HSMs), secure boot processes, and trusted execution environments using ARM TrustZone technology.
  • Implementing tamper-resistant firmware updates with monotonic counters and cryptographic validation to prevent rollback and unauthorised modifications.
  • Securing inter-ECU communication through authenticated messaging and session key management, ensuring integrity and confidentiality across safety-critical systems.

You’ll also learn to coordinate with hardware and safety teams to assess physical access risks—such as diagnostic port exploitation—and adapt threat models based on real-world incident data, including compromised telematics or reverse-engineered firmware.

By applying these methodologies, your organisation will strengthen system resilience, reduce time-to-compliance, and embed cybersecurity by design into every phase of the control unit lifecycle.
