Summary

In conclusion, understanding and implementing automotive cybersecurity standards is not merely a regulatory requirement but a cornerstone of building cyber-resilient automotive systems. In this chapter, we classified standards into three main categories: primary, secondary, and supporting, to provide a holistic view of the compliance layers. While primary standards form the backbone and are often mandated, secondary and supporting standards play an important role in implementing a robust cybersecurity management system. They also serve as useful resources in understanding security weaknesses and security best practices and offer general guidance for developing secure automotive systems and their supporting infrastructure. Furthermore, compliance with these standards ensures an orderly, process-driven approach that fortifies each stage of the vehicle life cycle, from development to operation. Given the fact that the landscape of automotive cybersecurity is in constant flux,...
