Cybersecurity Testing Methods: An Introduction
In this video course, you will first understand what cybersecurity testing is in the automotive cybersecurity context and its role in the V model. Additionally, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the four most relevant cybersecurity testing methods. We will also provide you with cybersecurity testing tools widely used in the practice of automotive cybersecurity.
Know the most relevant cybersecurity testing methods used in automotive cybersecurity
During the product development stage in automotive cybersecurity, cybersecurity testing plays a major role in defining whether requirements are fulfilled, including cybersecurity requirements. Therefore, knowing testing methods specific to cybersecurity is essential to expedite the process and to validate that cybersecurity requirements are indeed met. In fact, they are considered the backbone of cybersecurity testing. In the “Cybersecurity testing methods” video course, we give you an overview of the most relevant cybersecurity testing methods to automotive cybersecurity.
Before getting deep into the topic of cybersecurity methods, we will first define what cybersecurity testing is, its importance, and its place in the V-model. Hereby, you will be reminded what cybersecurity testing encompasses other relevant concepts such as requirements, test planning, other than testing itself. We will also go over the workflow in cybersecurity testing.
Next, we will present the four cybersecurity testing methods covered in this video course before deep diving into each of them. First, we will begin with the Functional cybersecurity testing by defining its purpose, what it involves, the levels at which it is performed, and a practical example for system level.
Then, we will introduce automotive vulnerability scanning, its usage, and application range. Moreover, we will provide advantages and limitations for this cybersecurity testing method.
Likewise, you will also learn about automotive fuzz testing and understand why fuzzing is useful and how fuzzing tools work.
The last of the cybersecurity testing methods pertaining this video, is the automotive penetration testing. Here, you will see get a visualization of how this method covers the whole right side of the V model and get an overview of the workflow steps involved in pen testing.
Finally, we will provide examples of cybersecurity testing tools that have been widely used in the automotive industry.
Who the Cybersecurity testing methods video course is made for
For project managers
As project manager, it is your responsibility to include cybersecurity also in testing activities. Doing so, ensures the system is reliable and directly reduces costs in case of potential breaches. Therefore, knowing cybersecurity testing methods presented in this video course is beneficial to detect vulnerabilities and mitigate them on time.
For software engineers
The goal of cybersecurity validation and verification is to ensure the product is indeed fulfilling, in this case, cybersecurity requirements. Therefore, knowing which methods and tools are available for testing is necessary to verify the level of cybersecurity effectiveness and ultimately prevent attacks of vehicle systems.
