A definitive partnership between CIRT and Autosifu to strengthen automotive cybersecurity readiness, regulatory compliance, and skilled workforce development.
Discover the ImpactCybersecurity is no longer an optional IT function—it is a core engineering, safety, and regulatory requirement across the full vehicle lifecycle.
Modern vehicles are complex distributed systems relying on Connected ECUs, Cloud Platforms, and OTA Updates. These systems are directly linked to critical outcomes:
Cybersecurity Policies, Risk Management Strategies (TARA), Supplier Audits, and Process Definition.
Network Security (CAN/LIN/Ethernet), Intrusion Detection (IDPS), and Secure Diagnostics.
Cloud Infrastructure, Telematics Security, Mobile App Protection, and Secure OTA Mechanisms.
Secure Boot, Hardware Trust Anchors (HSM), Cryptographic Review, and Component Pen-Testing.
The division operates across four core cybersecurity domains to ensure comprehensive coverage.
