Out-of-context & Off-the-Shelf Components in ISO/SAE 21434: A Guide to Integration in Vehicle Development Projects
Out-of-context developments from another development and Off-the-shelf Components (COTS) can reduce development effort - but it is
important to properly consider the requirements of modern vehicle
development in terms of cybersecurity and the development requirements of
ISO/SAE 21434.
This course provides an introduction to how to successfully
implement Out-of-Context and COTS in vehicle development in accordance with
ISO/SAE 21434.

WHY THIS VIDEO COURSE IS IMPORTANT
Learn how to reliably integrate Out-of-Context & COTS components into your vehicle development
In this course, developers and engineers like you will learn how to ensure the reuse of (Out of Context) elements and the utilisation of COTS components in your vehicle development projects meet the requirements of ISO/SAE 21434 for the proper implementation of cybersecurity (according to the defined procedure).
Specifically, this course will cover:
In this course you will learn how to manage cybersecurity and reduce security risks in accordance with ISO/SAE 21434 when considering the use of Out-of-Context or Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components in your development.
Specifically, this course will cover:
- Development scenario definition: Learn how ISO/SAE 21434 defines Out-of-Context and Off-the-Shelf in addition to the regular approach to development projects.
- Specifying Out-of-Context and COTS Development: We show how each principle can arise in a development project and compare the scenarios from the perspective of the cybersecurity requirements of ISO/SAE 21434.
- Implementation guidelines: Here we show what needs to be done in each case to actually integrate Out-of-Context / COTS into a development project in an ISO/SAE 21434 compliant manner.
In this course you will learn how to manage cybersecurity and reduce security risks in accordance with ISO/SAE 21434 when considering the use of Out-of-Context or Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components in your development.
Out-of-context & Off-the-Shelf Components according to ISO/SAE 21434 video course content
Introduction to Out-of-Context and Components-Off-The-Shelf in ISO/SAE 21434
In this first section, we take a closer look at how Out-of-Context and Components-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) are defined in ISO/SAE 21434 and how the idea of reuse (in the context of reducing development effort) goes hand in hand with the requirements of cybersecurity.
Out-of-context developments and Off-the-shelf (COTS) components and how they should be considered in an ISO/SAE21434 compliant development
In this part of the course, you will learn more about what is meant by Out-of-Context Development and Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components as defined in ISO/SAE 21434 for vehicle development projects - for example, a generic component such as a microcontroller that is intended for different applications and customers, or a third-party software library.
At a glance: Vehicle development scenarios
In a quick run-through, we will once again examine the scenarios in a development project, how to approach the question of whether an item/component is created in a given development context or is used outside this given development context.
Comparison of development scenarios and requirements by ISO/SAE 21434 for Out-of-Context and COTS implementation
This section looks at the specific requirements of ISO/SAE 21434 for both Out-of-Context and COTS development. On the one hand, it is important to pay close attention to the proper handling of assumptions, including validation. On the other hand, certain things also need to be initiated to ensure the correct application of ISO/SAE 21434.
Examining the typical development process according to ISO/SAE 21434
In this section we will take a brief look at the typical development process, including cybersecurity considerations, as defined by ISO/SAE 21434. Starting with the item definition, through the TARA methodology, to the kick-off of the cybersecurity concept.
