Software Implementation and Cybersecurity Controls Throughout Vehicle Lifecycle

Cybersecurity must be present at every step of the process during the vehicle lifecycle. In this video course, you will understand where software implementation and corresponding cybersecurity controls must take place. You will also learn why they must evolve along the different development and post-development phases to minimize risks and even prevent “insider” attacks.

In the video course “Cybersecurity Software Control Implementation”, you will gain insights into the essential considerations when implementing cybersecurity. Especially, by learning to recognize how the different environments at the development and post-development phases call for unique controls at each stage of the process.

The initial section of the video course will serve as a refresher, introducing the V-model and outlining the sequential stages of the product lifecycle. Special distinction between the developmental phase and the subsequent post-development phase will be highlighted.

Next, you will grasp how certain common actions and decisions during the development phase can repercuss negatively on the subsequent post-development phase, if left unchecked. We will also illustrate this with a practical example.

Moreover, you will also learn about cryptographic key separation in development and post-development, its role in safeguarding critical files, and how approaches differ. This section holds particular significance, as it contributes to mitigating internal risks such as „Insider Threats“ that can never be entirely eliminated, especially in the development of complex systems like vehicles.

Finally, you will get an overview of pivotal measures necessary to ensure the security of software development right from the initial developmental phase.
