Microchip Earns Certification in ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicle—Cybersecurity Engineering Standard from UL Solutions
08 Februar 2024 - 2:01PM
As everything from infotainment to engine systems in the automotive
industry becomes more dependent on wireless and in-vehicle network
connectivity, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has
increased. The ISO/SAE 21434 standard has emerged to set
requirements for road vehicle cybersecurity risk management
processes. These cybersecurity requirements help regulate
automotive products across the complete product lifecycle—from
concept through design, production, maintenance and
decommissioning. Adhering to these standards, Microchip
Technology’s
(Nasdaq: MCHP) corporate processes
associated with specific automotive work products have recently
been audited by a third party, UL Solutions, and certified as
compliant to ISO/SAE 21434.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) in conjunction with the Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE)
International, the ISO/SAE 21434 standard was developed to help
organizations define cybersecurity policies and manage risk. It is
a demanding specification with 45 security categories, known as
work products, each of which specifies a unique set of requirements
that encompass all aspects of designing electrical and electronic
systems for road vehicles, from ICs and software to firmware and
libraries.
The ISO/SAE 21434 designation also confirms that a certified
corporate cybersecurity management system is in place. This
verifies that cybersecurity is a priority focus at the
organization, from executive leadership to all organizational
disciplines including the design, test, product, applications,
marketing, quality, verification and validation teams. Stakeholders
involved in the product lifecycle are required to complete
cybersecurity training and meet designated qualifications. A Threat
Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) methodology is also
incorporated at multiple stages of the product lifecycle when
devices will be integrated into automotive cybersecurity-related
platforms.
“Security is a core pillar at Microchip and the ISO/SAE 21434
certification is proof of our dedication to maintaining high
standards in automotive cybersecurity,” said Matthias Kaestner,
corporate vice president of Microchip's automotive business. “Our
customers can be confident that Microchip is a trusted security
advisor with the appropriate expertise to guide them through their
automotive cybersecurity design journey.”
While each OEM is responsible for proving compliance at the
vehicle level, ISO/SAE 21434 encourages all companies in the
production ecosystem to play a role in proactively helping manage
cybersecurity threats. Customers utilizing electronic control units
that incorporate Microchip’s security products, designed within the
ISO/SAE 21434 certified process framework, can be relieved of the
arduous task of reviewing thousands of pages of process
documentation to determine compliance. This reduces the burden
placed on Tier-1s and OEMs to prove they have a strong foundation
in security.
