Standardized Security for Complex Supply Chains

Modern engineered products, with their vast network of integrated components and software modules, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Each connected feature introduces potential entry points for attackers, where a single vulnerability could compromise critical systems and proprietary data. As entire supply chains become more interconnected, exchanging sensitive design and operational information, the need for a universally trusted security standard is paramount to protect these advanced ecosystems.

TARA as a service

TARA (Threat Analysis & Risk Assessment) is essential in automotive cybersecurity, guiding manufacturers and developers to enhance vehicle protection and compliance with ISO/SAE 21434. It encompasses threat identification from various sources, risk evaluation in terms of likelihood and impact, and the development of mitigation strategies. Notably, TARA is a dynamic process, requiring ongoing reassessment to address emerging vulnerabilities and adhere to evolving industry standards and practices in automotive cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Consulting

Cybersecurity consulting encompasses expert evaluations and solution implementations to combat cyber threats. This includes identifying and assessing system vulnerabilities, evaluating risks, and designing comprehensive protection strategies. Consultants align these security measures with business objectives, enhancing organizational resilience through risk mitigation and strategic resource deployment. The process involves setting security goals, mapping processes, and integrating testing and validation, complemented by thorough documentation and training to ensure awareness and preparedness.

Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing involves simulated attacks on systems to uncover vulnerabilities before they're exploited by attackers. Its goal is to identify weaknesses in a system's defense, allowing organizations to proactively fortify their security. As cybersecurity threats evolve, regular penetration testing is critical, ensuring organizations can adapt and remain secure. This ongoing process is a key part of a comprehensive security strategy.

Cyber Security Management Systems

Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS) offer a strategic framework for organizations to manage cybersecurity risks and safeguard digital assets, crucial for compliance with UNECE R155 regulations. It encompasses defining roles, responsibilities, and accountability, ensuring management involvement, and enhancing organizational cyber competence. The process includes risk identification, prioritization, design and testing of security controls, and risk reduction to acceptable levels. Additionally, it covers responses to cyber attacks or vulnerabilities and managing dependencies with suppliers and service providers, ensuring collaboration and compliance across the supply chain.

Compliancy Audits and Assessments

Compliance audits and assessments are vital for aligning organizational cybersecurity practices with standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, TISAX, and IEC/SAE 62443. They involve evaluating security measures against these benchmarks, identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, and suggesting improvements. Regular assessments ensure continuous adaptation to new threats and compliance with evolving regulations, maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture.

Vulnerability Management and incident response

Vulnerability management is a continuous process for addressing cyber vulnerabilities, including identification, assessment, reporting, managing, and remediation across various systems. It's complemented by incident response, a planned approach for managing security incidents, encompassing detection, response, recovery, and learning from the incident to improve future security measures. Together, these processes ensure a proactive stance against cyber threats and a resilient recovery mechanism.

Cybersecurity for Production line

Robust cybersecurity practices are critical in the manufacturing sector to protect production lines and ensure infrastructure safety. The industry faces challenges from complex supply chains, the rise of Industrial IoT (IIoT) increasing attack surfaces, and the use of legacy systems. Key focus areas include securing network communications, implementing strict access controls, protecting endpoints, establishing efficient incident response mechanisms, and ongoing employee cybersecurity training. Continuous security assessments and updates, alongside collaboration with cybersecurity experts, are essential for adapting to emerging threats.

Information Security for the Automotive Supply Chain

As data sharing between OEMs, suppliers, and service providers becomes increasingly digital, protecting confidential information is no longer optional — it’s a business necessity. Each new partnership or IT integration introduces potential risks, where one weak link can compromise the entire supply network. Through the TISAX® assessment framework, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to information security, ensuring compliance with VDA ISA requirements and maintaining trust throughout the value chain.
