Cybersecurity Verification And Validation – Video course

As cybersecurity verification and validation is required by ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155, having an understanding of both is essential. In this video course, you will learn the difference between verification and validation, as well as get an overview of V&V methods. Additionally, you will also learn which needs should be covered in a V&V strategy.

Verification and validation methods, otherwise known as V&V, have been present in automotive for decades to ensure the product indeed fulfills the requirement and the approach is the right one. But today, cybersecurity needs to also be embedded here as required by ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155. Therefore, in this “Cybersecurity verification and validation” video course, we will explain V&V methods in the context of automotive cybersecurity.

First, we will highlight the importance of verification and validation in automotive cybersecurity. Then, to gain a common understanding, we will define the differences between validation and verification and provide a practical example to make the distinction clear.

Second, we will give you an overview of available verification and validation methods, besides testing, such as review, analysis, and simulations. We will also provide clear examples for each of the presented V&V methods.

Third, you will learn how you can reuse existing traditional V&V methods by merging them with new methods specific to cybersecurity. Moreover, you will learn why including cybersecurity in the V&V strategy is necessary to ensure systems are meeting requirements.

At last, we will provide you with some questions derived from ASPICE, which should be considered in the V&V strategy and make you aware of how cybersecurity impacts your V&V approach.
