CYBER ATTACKS ARE MORE
COMMON THAN WE THINK.”

“We simply have to stay at least one step ahead of our opponents,” says
Geyer, explaining what he together with 90 colleagues in Regensburg focus

their energy on.
At AVL our Functional Safety and Cybersecurity portfolio aims to support
OEMs, Tier1s and other suppliers – as well as certification bodies – throughout
the complete development process. In recent years, the automotive industry
has experienced the emergence of cybersecurity regulations. Besides
the engineering standard ISO21434, the two most prominent are UNECE
regulation UN R155, which applies to the UNECE member states, and
GB/T, which applies to China. Automotive cybersecurity legislation establishes
a set of requirements, practices, and principles to protect connected
vehicles from misuse by malicious hackers. Binding standards such as ISO
26262 ensure that evolving mobility technologies meet the requirements for
rigorous functional integrity and safety. We support compliance with these
standards and continually keep up to date with regulatory requirements.
At AVL, we help our customers with our comprehensive engineering
services
from the development to the in-use phase. Furthermore, we offer
a powerful software and testing tool suite to support and optimize process
automation and efficiency.
As object detection for automated
driving and rapidly changing
attacker models for cybersecurity
mechanisms have come on the
scene, deterministic observers alone
cannot be the answer. The power
of cross-domain-servers (CDS) enables
the implementation of appropriate
machine learning algorithms.
Existing systems will be further
developed under appliance of Cyber
Security Management Systems
(CSMS) and Software Update Management
Systems (SUMS). One of
our strongest responses to the additional
effort and complexity to
secure vehicles is the AVL Cyber
Security Tool Suite. It is designed
to streamline, automate and connect
continuous tasks in the process
such as lifecycle management,
threat analysis/risk assessment, vulnerability
management, testing and
much more.
