"As a leading IP provider, Synopsys recognizes the critical importance of cybersecurity in the automotive industry and the needs of automotive OEMs to safeguard their vehicles against evolving cyber threats," said John Koeter, senior vice president of product management and strategy for IP at Synopsys. "Achieving the industry's first third-party ISO/SAE 21434 certified IP product with ARC Processor IP demonstrates Synopsys' commitment to deliver high-quality and safe IP that helps our customers to meet the latest regulations for their safety- and security-critical devices."
What's Driving the Need for ISO/SAE 21434 Compliance?
Cars are becoming increasingly software-defined, enabling car manufacturers to add new features or functions remotely through over-the-air (OTA) software updates. However, OTA updates and other connected applications, such as vehicle telematics and smartphone connectivity, can create security gaps that open systems to unauthorized access, tampering, and the injection of malware and viruses. For this reason, to release new road vehicles, automotive OEMs are mandated by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's UN R155 regulation to adopt a cybersecurity management system like ISO/SAE 21434, making compliance a prerequisite for market success. By integrating products that adhere to the ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity standard, OEMs can more easily meet regulatory requirements to better protect their customers' data.
"As a supplier of highly reliable microcontrollers for use in automotive systems, it is critical that our products meet automotive cybersecurity standards to minimize the vulnerability to cyberattacks. At Infineon, we firmly believe that the robustness of ISO 21434 compliant solutions over the lifecycle relies heavily on strong collaboration among all stakeholders, including IP/hardware/software suppliers and customers," said Mr. Joerg Schepers, Vice President for Automotive Microcontrollers at Infineon. "The automotive industry has a complex supply chain, and vendors, like Synopsys, that provide ISO 21434 certified solutions help ensure that security best practices are followed throughout the entire development process from IP to final vehicle assembly."
"With the increase in hardware and software vulnerabilities in connected cars, automotive vendors across the supply chain are adhering to tougher cybersecurity regulations to help OEMs meet governmental standards," said Tobias Hörmann Product Manager, Cybersecurity at SGS-TṺV Saar. "By achieving ISO 21434 certification for its IP development process and for the ARC HS4xFS Processor IP, Synopsys is helping automotive engineers meet automotive cybersecurity requirements."
