Taking a Deep Dive into ISO/SAE21434

ISO/SAE21434 is the de facto standard for ensuring cybersecurity in automotive engineering. It provides a comprehensive framework for managing cybersecurity risks throughout the product development life cycle, from planning and design to production and beyond. In Chapter 4, we introduced the ISO/SAE 21434 standard and asserted the importance of taking a systematic approach to engineering secure products. In this chapter, we will delve deeper into the various aspects of this approach and demonstrate why it is crucial for overcoming the technical and process-related challenges of developing a secure product. Rather than focusing on each requirement of the standard, we will instead provide a detailed summary of the objectives of each clause, along with best practices and practical examples to achieve those objectives. We will cover a broad range of topics, including the following:

• Organizational cybersecurity management
• Acquisition and...
