Program Overview
This program equips automotive professionals with a practitioner-level understanding of ISO 21434 (Cybersecurity) and ISO 26262 (Functional Safety). Delivered by an expert with 25+ years of experience, the course dives deep into the risk management lifecycle, system-level design implications, safety integrity levels (ASIL), and cybersecurity threat assessment frameworks (TARA). Through real-world case studies, cross-functional scenario mapping, and interactive compliance planning, participants will learn to identify vulnerabilities, integrate safety/security strategies, and meet emerging regulatory demands such as UNECE WP.29, R155, and R156. This course is designed to bridge safety and security for EVs, ADAS, and autonomous systems—empowering attendees to build compliant and resilient vehicle systems.
