Vehicle connectivity is rapidly expanding, creating new functions but also significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Stricter regulations like ISO 21434 and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) WP.29 are mandating a certified Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) and Software Update Management System (SUMS) for OEMs, ensuring secure design from components to the vehicle level.
This is not just about compliance; it’s about protecting brand reputation, ensuring customer safety, and enabling new business models. Emerging trends include advanced threat analysis, AI–powered security, and continuous monitoring, to ensure security of automotive software.
Implemented 280+ cybersecurity requirements for both engineering and testing domains.
Implemented cybersecurity and feature functionalities, developed and verified source code, conducted integration and testing, and completed design and documentation in alignment with system requirements.
TARA and vulnerability management for a cockpit solution where Acsia provided the customer TLS connection manager and designed secure access end-to-end architecture.
Acsia provides tailored ISO 21434 compliance and certification programs, ensuring that OEM processes and development methodologies meet the specific requirements of the standard. This approach helps OEMs navigate the complexities of compliance efficiently and effectively, minimizing the burden on internal resources.
Acsia’s expertise ensures adherence to critical global regulations like UNECE WP.29, which is increasingly becoming a mandatory requirement for selling vehicles in key markets. By leveraging Acsia’s knowledge, OEMs can confidently meet these regulatory demands, avoiding potential delays and ensuring market access.
Integrating cybersecurity from the initial development stages is crucial for building secure vehicles. Acsia helps OEMs embed security considerations early in the design process, preventing costly redesigns and ensuring that security is a fundamental aspect of the vehicle architecture rather than an afterthought.
Acsia offers comprehensive testing capabilities, including advanced penetration testing and automated security assessments, ensuring thorough validation of security measures. This rigorous testing helps identify and address vulnerabilities early, minimizing risks and improving the overall security posture of the vehicle.
Acsia addresses OEM safety requirements holistically, providing support across the entire lifecycle of vehicle development, from concept to post–production monitoring. This comprehensive approach ensures that security is considered at every stage, providing a robust defence against evolving cyber threats.
Acsia leverages its experience across various industries to bring valuable cybersecurity insights and best practices to the automotive sector. This cross–pollination of knowledge allows OEMs to benefit from lessons learned in other domains, enhancing their cybersecurity strategies and resilience.
With the rise of connected vehicles, cybersecurity is crucial to protect against cyber threats that could put vehicle safety, personal data, and essential systems at risk. Regulations like ISO 21434 and UNECE WP.29 require strong security measures, ensuring vehicles are designed and maintained with robust protection against cyber risks.
Modern vehicle software incorporates multiple layers of security, including secure boot mechanisms, encryption (TLS/SSL), secure over-the-air (OTA) updates, hardware security modules (HSM), intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and rigorous penetration testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
Acsia offers comprehensive automotive cybersecurity solutions covering consulting, architecture, and validation. The company helps OEMs and Tier-1s achieve CSMS compliance (UNECE R155/R156), implement secure SDLC practices, and design robust vehicle architectures with secure boot, encryption, HSM, and OTA protection. The offerings also include ECU-level security, cloud/backend protection, and rigorous testing like fuzzing, TARA, and penetration testing.
Acsia provides end-to-end cybersecurity solutions, including identifying potential risks, secure software design, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and handling and recovering from cyber incidents. The company’s expertise ensures OEMs achieve ISO 21434 and UNECE WP.29 compliance efficiently while integrating security seamlessly into their vehicle development lifecycle.
Acsia secures ECUs through robust firmware protection, secure boot mechanisms, encrypted firmware updates, intrusion detection systems, and limiting access to authorized users only. The company also performs security validation tests, such as fuzz testing and penetration testing, to safeguard in-vehicle communication networks.
