Cyber threats are on the rise in today's digital world, where software-defined vehicles become increasingly connected and data-driven applications evolve. Many organizations need help to keep up with the security challenges posed by the growing complexity of products and the transition of enhanced vehicle functions from hardware to software. 

Higher-value software features require connectivity for communication and exchange with other vehicles or infrastructure. Thus, cyber risk incidents can critically impact the vehicle's E/E architecture and make it vulnerable to attack. To protect human safety, new regulations and standards will remain a top priority for automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
