ISO 21434 Training for Conducting Vulnerability Analysis and Assessments

Course Duration: 3 Days - 8 Hours/day

This three-day seminar will provide the knowledge and skills required to perform vulnerability analysis and assessments per the ISO 21434 Cybersecurity Engineering Standard. This class will give you the information to plan, conduct and report vulnerability analysis and assessment activities for ISO/SAE 21434.

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.
