Vehicle-Level Security Controls

In Chapter 3, we discussed the different types of cybersecurity threats in automotive systems and how they relate to the vehicle’s E/E architecture. Instead of jumping straight into technical solutions, we emphasized the importance of a systematic engineering approach to identifying and managing risks. Now, in this chapter, we will shift our focus to technical solutions to minimize cybersecurity risks through a defense-in-depth strategy. It is sometimes possible to eliminate a risk by removing a risky feature from the product’s design. Most of the time, we must find ways to manage the risks using appropriate cybersecurity controls.
