Automotive Cybersecurity - Training the Future

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Systems, Software and Services Process Improvement (EuroSPI 2021)

Abstract

The automotive domain is moving towards connected and automated vehicles [13] with a high degree of dynamic and adaptive behaviour, driven by software. Due to this connectivity and interaction, cybersecurity is an increasingly important topic. In the future automotive cybersecurity will also play an important role in the type approval. We present here the first results of a European Erasmus+ project, aiming at the development of training for automotive cybersecurity.
