As automotive software grows increasingly complex, navigating security and regulatory requirements has become an essential challenge for manufacturers. Today's vehicles, driven by software-defined systems and connected services, must comply with stringent standards while defending against evolving cyber threats.

In this episode, we delve deeply into the critical intersection of automotive software security and industry regulations. We explore how automakers and Tier 1 suppliers can manage complex regulatory landscapes like UN Regulation 155 (R155) and ISO 21434, which mandate cybersecurity throughout the vehicle lifecycle-from design through production and post-production. The integration of numerous software stacks within a single vehicle opens avenues for vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit, highlighting the need for rigorous compliance and robust cybersecurity practices.

Join us to discover essential insights into adopting secure software development frameworks, implementing rigorous Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) processes, and maintaining compliance in a rapidly shifting regulatory environment. Learn how cutting-edge practices such as continuous vulnerability monitoring and Vehicle Security Operations Centers (VSOCs) are becoming standard to protect vehicles against emerging threats.
