A few weeks ago, the CYRES Academy Online Learn Platform was launched, the world’s first Automotive Cybersecurity Online Courses learning platform exclusively for practice-relevant knowledge around automotive cybersecurity. Besides automotive cybersecurity training and their respective automotive cybersecurity certification within the ACP framework, the platform offers a growing number of video courses, on specific topics. In the following, we present the currently most frequently accessed courses.
One of the first and most important questions in the field of automotive cybersecurity is: What do I actually need to know? With the increasing complexity of vehicles, it is obvious that the associated information needs in terms of applied cybersecurity could hardly be more complex. Modular access to knowledge is becoming essential.
While The Essential Guide to ISO/SAE 21434, for example, is intended to provide an introduction to automotive cybersecurity and ISO/SAE 21434 as a whole, there is a considerable range of content that is more interesting for specific functions and roles, and less so for others.
This principle of role and function-based delivery of cybersecurity competencies is served by the ACP Framework and the associated Automotive Cybersecurity Competency Management.
The new CYRES Academy Online Learning Platform also follows the approach of making specific knowledge available on-demand in a snackable form.
Automotive cybersecurity self-study for experts
A large number of topics are currently on our roadmap, and at the same time numerous new video learning courses have already been added over the last few weeks. Currently (as of September 2021), there are already around 50 videos online on the platform.
In the following, we would like to present the most frequently viewed video courses and thus give you an overview of the knowledge requirements that are currently driving the industry. Here we go.
The most clicked automotive cybersecurity learning videos on our platform
Whether you are a Quality Manager, Security Engineer, Systems Engineer, Software Engineer or Technical Architect: The on-demand video learning courses of the CYRES Academy aim to provide an understandable approach to each topic. Please note that in the context of this, it may make sense to watch learning courses in a certain order.
Overview ISO/SAE 21434
With the recent official publication of the ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering Standard, interest is high to take a look at the now official publication of the standard (in the so-called “First Edition”). After all, word has spread that this affects the entire value chain, including tier-n suppliers, some of whom are still surprised by the far-reaching scope of the standard.
The video course presents the scope, the current structure and the exact contents of ISO/SAE 21434. Temporarily we provide the course free of charge.

Automotive Cybersecurity: Terms and definitions
The Automotive Cybersecurity: Terms and definitions video course is one of the helpful cybersecurity awareness online courses designed to establish the basics around automotive cybersecurity (and related documents and topics): with the help of clarity on the related terminology. Based on the terms and definitions as used in ISO/SAE 21434, this course explains relevant terms: from asset over threat scenario to E/E component.
The importance of a common understanding as a basis for collaboration in the field of automotive cybersecurity is demonstrated by the steadily growing number of hits on this video course.

Standards and regulations apart ISO/SAE 21434
Although ISO/SAE 21434 has a massive impact on the entire automotive domain (and will have much more in the future!), it is also important to take a look at neighboring automotive cybersecurity standards and regulations. Not only are these closely related to ISO/SAE 21434 (e.g. UN Regulation No. 155), but they themselves have far-reaching requirements that can lead to a sales ban, for example, in the event of non-compliance.
This video course is widely recommended as it helps to get a first detailed overview of the variety of different standards and regulations.

Planning of Cybersecurity in the project: Cybersecurity Plan and Cybersecurity Case
Integrating cybersecurity holistically into an automotive development project takes extensive efforts. (In general, we have tried to give a high-level overview in the blog How to successfully establish cybersecurity in existing development projects). In addition to multifaceted activities, it is essential to understand the cybersecurity plan and the cybersecurity case.
In this quite comprehensive video course, which also presents an exemplary cybersecurity plan, you will get a good insight into the key aspects when it comes to planning cybersecurity for a development project.
UN Regulation No. 155
UN Regulation No. 155 is probably well known to automotive experts, as it is a regulation with which compliance is mandatory. It is a challenge not only for OEMs, but also for suppliers. In the associated video course, we not only explain the scope of UN R155 and how it applies, but also go into more depth on Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS), Vehicle Requirements and Vehicle Type Approval.
In addition, the link between ISO/SAE 21434 and UN Regulation No 155 is explained.

UN Regulation No. 156
While UN R155 and the topic of CSMS are already receiving a lot of attention in the automotive industry, UN Regulation No. 156 and the Software Update Management System are still almost niche issues, as one might think. And this despite the fact that they put just as much pressure on the entire industry to act, namely with regard to software updates and the associated Software Update Management System (SUMS).
This comprehensive video course presents UN Regulation No. 156, its structure and requirements in detail. Thus, the course offers a unique opportunity for a more in-depth introduction to the entire scope of UN R156.
