This two-day course is designed to give the attendee a detailed understanding of Automotive Cybersecurity ASPICE.

The Automotive SPICE for Cybersecurity is a set of processes added to ASPICE to implement portions of the ISO 21434 standard dealing with the concept phase, product development, TARA, and distributed cybersecurity activities. The additional processes are: SEC.1, SEC.2, SEC.3, SEC.4, ACQ.2, and MAN.7.

The results of assessment are used for the identification of process improvements, and for identifying and assessment of cybersecurity risks in the quality of a specific product release as well as a criterion for supplier selection.

Upon completion of this course you will be able to apply the evaluation methods used in Automotive SPICE® to assess and improve your company’s processes implementing portions of ISO 21434.
