What is ISO 21434?
ISO 21434 is a global standard that outlines a comprehensive framework for managing cybersecurity risks in the automotive industry. It provides guidelines for identifying, assessing, and addressing potential cybersecurity threats throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle, from design and development to production, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. The standard emphasizes integrating cybersecurity measures into the entire engineering process, promoting proactive risk management and ensuring vehicles remain secure against evolving threats. It is a critical tool for manufacturers, suppliers, and stakeholders to maintain trust and compliance in an increasingly connected and automated automotive landscape.
What is the difference between ISO 21434 and ISO 27001?
ISO 21434 and ISO 27001 both focus on security but differ in scope and application. ISO 21434 is tailored for the automotive industry, addressing cybersecurity risks in vehicles and their electronic systems throughout their lifecycle, from design to decommissioning. In contrast, ISO 27001 provides a general framework for managing information security across all industries, focusing on safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While ISO 21434 protects cyber-physical systems in vehicles, ISO 27001 is designed to secure information assets in organizations of any type.
