ISO 21434 Automotive Cybersecurity Auditing and Assessment Certification

Course Duration: 5 Days - 8 Hours/day

This five-day seminar will provide the knowledge and skills required to perform audits and assessments for the ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Engineering standard. This class will give you the information to plan, conduct and report audit and assessment activities for ISO/SAE 21434. An overview of ISO/IEC 27001, United Nations (UN) regulation WP.29, and VDA ACMS (Automotive Cybersecurity Management System) will also be provided.

This course combines presentations with in-class group exercises to put what you are learning into practice. Concepts are reinforced by a series of breakout exercises on critical aspects of audits and assessments.
