WHY THIS VIDEO COURSE IS IMPORTANT

Learn about the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement of vehicles and vehicle components.

Cybersecurity is a central component of modern vehicle development and must be considered throughout the product lifecycle. This course provides a basic introduction to the product lifecycle model and how cybersecurity plays a role at every stage - from design to production to retirement.

Many professionals are unaware of the role of cybersecurity at these different stages, which can lead to potential security vulnerabilities. This course fills this knowledge gap and gives you a basic understanding of the cybersecurity required at each stage.

This course covers:

  • The product lifecycle model and its phases: You will learn what the product lifecycle model encompasses and which specific phases are relevant to cybersecurity.


  • Incorporating cybersecurity into each phase: You will learn how to consider cybersecurity in the different phases of the lifecycle - from building secure software in the early development phase to securely deactivating and deleting data during decommissioning.


  • The importance of proactive security measures: By understanding the security measures required at each stage, you can address risks early and improve the security of the product.


This course will provide you with the awareness and knowledge necessary to understand and implement cybersecurity as an end-to-end process. You will be able to identify potential security risks at every stage of the automotive product lifecycle, laying the foundation for secure and robust automotive products.
Key takeaways from this 7-minute video course

Cybersecurity Interface Agreement according to ISO/SAE 21434  video course content

Introduction to the ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Interface Agreement (CIA)

The course begins with an introduction to the importance of the CIA as a key contractual document for parties working together in vehicle development. You will learn how the CIA serves as the basis for allocating cybersecurity responsibilities and avoiding misunderstandings in distributed development.

Relationship between CIA and DIA (Development Interface Agreement)

You may already be familiar with the Development Interface Agreement (DIA) of ISO 26262 - in this part of the course we will briefly show how the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement (CIA) of ISO/SAE 21434 differs from the DIA and how both documents together ensure comprehensive safety/security management.

Why the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement is needed

This section shows why a clearly defined CIA is essential for assigning responsibility for cybersecurity activities and ensuring smooth collaboration - right through to the end of cybersecurity support.

Summary and sustainable use of the CIA in the course of the project

The course concludes with a summary of the key points and an overview of how the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement according to ISO/SAE 21434 serves as a reference for cybersecurity activities throughout the life of the project, covering all phases of the product lifecycle.

Example: Content and structure of the ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Interface Agreement

In this part of the course, you will learn the specific contents of a CIA in a nutshell (based on Annex C of the standard). The individual components are examined in more detail and it is shown how the work products can be presented along a responsibility allocation matrix between supplier and customer throughout the phases.
For Project Managers and Cybersecurity Managers in Distributed Development Projects

As the person responsible for the strategic planning of requirements in a vehicle development project, this course provides Project Managers and Cybersecurity Managers with a compact introduction to how the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement helps to properly organise cybersecurity responsibilities in distributed multi-party projects in accordance with ISO/SAE 21434. You will learn how the CIA is a reliable document that defines clear responsibilities and structures and documents cybersecurity requirements.

For Quality and Compliance Managers


For Quality and Compliance Managers who are tasked with systematising risks, ensuring compliance with contractual obligations and preparing appropriate supporting documents - e.g. according to ISO/SAE21434 - this short course provides a comprehensive knowledge impulse around the implementation and compliance of cybersecurity responsibilities between customer and supplier using the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement document.


Thousands of users in various functions and roles already benefit from our content

Who is the target audience of this video course?

This course explains to Quality and Security Managers, as well as operational specialists involved in vehicle development, how the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement (CIA) helps to clearly define responsibilities for the implementation of cybersecurity in distributed development projects, thus systematically reducing security risks in accordance with the requirements of ISO/SAE 21434.

As this is ultimately a matter of responsibilities, tasks, time and cost planning, this short course, which provides a brief introduction to the document, is a useful knowledge boost for anyone involved in security approaches in a collaborative vehicle development environment.
