• How can security be embedded earlier and more efficiently in the SDV development lifecycle (e.g., shift-left approaches)?
• What are best practices for automating threat modeling, risk assessments, and compliance verification (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155)?
• How do we manage the interface between cybersecurity tools and other management systems (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows)?
• What technical solutions enable better collaboration between cybersecurity, functional safety, and IT governance?
• Case examples: What works in practice and what doesn’t?

SDVs present Tier 1 suppliers with both challenges and opportunities, particularly in the realm of security. Key challenges include the need for advanced sensor technology, robust AI algorithms for decision-making, and ensuring strict compliance with safety and security standards. At the same time, there are significant opportunities to provide critical security components, collaborate with OEMs on innovation, and lead the development of secure, next-gen automotive systems. Success in this landscape requires agility, innovation, and a deep commitment to both safety and security.

This session will address the following issues:

• What security challenges does Tier 1 face in developing SDVs?
• What opportunities arise in securing the development of SDVs?
• How the future of SDV security will shape the role of Tier 1 suppliers.
