Vehicle cybersecurity: shifting left with HIL- and SIL-based cybersecurity testing

Vehicle penetration testing is essential to the type approval regulatory requirement and is crucial in uncovering security vulnerabilities in vehicles. However, navigating the resolution process can be time-consuming, with potential business impacts such as a delay in the start of production date. This presentation will explore a strategic approach to managing this process and mitigating risks by shifting left, harnessing hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop test platforms for automated cybersecurity testing in the development stages. It will also discuss how this proactive methodology identifies issues early and streamlines the finalization stages, ensuring your product’s security is comprehensively validated.
