NEW CHANCES, NEW RISKS AND OPEN QUESTIONS

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications represent a promising solution to reduce the number of road accidents significantly. However, these systems require robust security to ensure that communication and participants’ data remain uncorrupted. Any manipulation in the V2V communication or in the vehicle electronics could lead potentially to crashes inflicting fatal damage. Furthermore, every vehicle must provide and maintain compatible interfaces and functions to millions of other vehicles and infrastructures. Developing secure and trustworthy systems is challenging and raises a catalogue of essential questions. Our automotive security experts answer your questions and support you developing new secure solutions.

• How to keep track of emerging trends, vulnerabilities and security solutions relevant to my product?

• How to be aware of every relevant security and privacy regulation?

• Which process requirements exist and have to be followed?

• How to design secure system architectures?

• How to test security?

• How to implement secure systems securely?

• Finally, every system’s security fails over time. What response and maintenance strategy is appropriate for your business and products?

OUR SOLUTIONS FOR THE SECURITY LIFE CYCLE SMART CAR – MULTIPLE RISKSPROTECTING YOUR AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICSThe competence center on automotive security engineering offers tailored security solutions for automotive manufacturers, suppliers and engineering service providers to cope with every emerging security challenge. Remote computer attacks through wireless interfaces are a present and common danger to the security, privacy and safety of cars, systems and passengers.

Accordingly, security engineering has become another key capability for developing safe, secure, and trustworthy car systems. Automotive security solutions protect car systems and keep attackers from putting safety, privacy, intellectual properties, and business cases at risk, preventing significant costs through reputation damage, call-backs, and product liability.

SECURITY ENGINEERING

Skilled engineers protect intellectual properties, products and business.

• Threats & Risk Analysis Analyse, identify and rate the most critical threats, assets, and security goals.

• Security Requirements Engineering Specifying security requirements for product lines.

• Security Concept Development Design secure architectures and countermeasures.

• Security Implementation Standard-conforming implementation of technical controls and security-critical software.

• Security Testing Validation and verification of software and systems against security goals, requirements and concepts in automotive context.

• Security Response Support, maintain and repair security-critical systems and software in the field.

Manipulation & Privacy ProtectionSecurity experts introduce security and privacy best practices into electronics development of a German OEM. The team reports emerging threats and solutions and analyses system architectures regarding vulnerabilities.

Best Practices Wireless TestingA testing lab set-up extends a MESSINA infotainment workbench with radio testing equipment to evaluate security testing methods for automotive applications, e.g. fuzz testing, penetration testing.

Security Concept Inductive ChargingA team of security engineers and systems developers defines requirements, designs security architectures and specifies technical controls for an inductive battery charging station.

Security Concept Next Generation InfotainmentSecurity by design leads the development of a new generation of infotainment devices of an OEM. Our security experts analyse threats, rate risks, specify and manage security requirements, clarify requirements with the supplier and define and execute testing of deliverables.

SECURITY CONSULTING

Senior experts gear up processes, methods and tools for security.

• Trends & Emerging Threats Analysis Security reports condense and filter threats and solutions posted on Internet platforms, forums and publications.

• Security & Privacy Process Management Senior security experts ease evolving processes towards developing secure products.

• Security Quality Assessments Software quality and security experts assess requirements, designs, code and test-cases for security-relevant quality issues and summarise results in quality reports.

• Testing and Radio Technology Testing wireless interfaces and traffic for vulnerabilities demands wireless testing tools and products (e.g. MESSINA, TESTONA) adapted to the needs of automotive E/E development.
