I think we can all agree that automotive cybersecurity is a different beast all around compared to traditional Silicon Valley cybersecurity. The problem may be the same time and time again, but the context of the problem becomes unique each time. The stakes are much higher - if something goes wrong in automotive cybersecurity, a person could be injured or killed. Those who work cybersecurity in other industries may not be able to provide insight into the issues the automotive cybersecurity indus...

Do we have the ability to map out the automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) and cybersecurity assurance level (CAL)? What do I mean by this - can we say that one CAL level is the same as another level? I don’t think so. Why? ➡️ Because each level is different. ➡️ ASIL comes up in the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) ➡️ CAL comes up in the threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) Listen to my full response here. questioner: Akshay Kumar #autonomousvehicle #automotiveindustry #auton...

In my opinion, it should be done at the vehicle level. Simply put - OEMs know the entire architecture of the car. Whereas if the analysis and assessments are done at the component level, the scope has to be narrowed down.
