Secure your connected vehicles against evolving cyber threats with this comprehensive self-assessment programme in automotive firewall protection. Designed for engineering leads, cybersecurity specialists, and product managers in the automotive sector, this curriculum delivers actionable insights to strengthen in-vehicle network defences across the entire vehicle lifecycle.

Through three targeted modules, you’ll systematically evaluate and enhance your organisation’s approach to automotive cybersecurity, ensuring resilience, compliance, and operational integrity in an increasingly connected landscape.

  • Module 1: Threat Landscape & Attack Surface Analysis
    Conduct a detailed inventory of ECUs, communication buses (CAN, LIN, Ethernet), and wireless interfaces to map potential vulnerabilities. Leverage threat intelligence from ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29, and CVE databases to identify high-risk entry points—including OBD-II ports, telematics units, and OTA update systems. Develop evidence-based threat scenarios with impact and likelihood ratings to guide strategic firewall deployment.
  • Module 2: Firewall Architecture Design
    Evaluate centralised versus distributed firewall models in alignment with your vehicle’s electrical/electronic architecture. Define optimal placement at domain boundaries—such as between infotainment and safety-critical powertrain systems—to enforce robust network segmentation. Specify hardware and real-time OS requirements for deterministic packet filtering, and integrate firewall capabilities into existing gateway ECUs without compromising performance or latency.
  • Module 3: Protocol-Specific Filtering
    Tailor filtering rules to vehicle-specific protocols, balancing security depth with operational efficiency. Implement stateful or stateless inspection based on safety-critical system constraints, and establish clearly defined trust zones with granular inter-zone communication policies.

This self-assessment enables your team to proactively defend against cyber intrusions, reduce attack surface exposure, and align with global regulatory standards. Whether you're scaling connected vehicle features or preparing for type approval, the outcomes drive measurable improvements in security posture and engineering confidence.

Elevate your automotive cybersecurity strategy today—undertake the self-assessment and build defences that protect not just data, but driver safety and brand reputation.
