Cybersecurity Training

For a Tier 1 supplier seeking to strengthen cybersecurity competencies across embedded and connected systems, we delivered a tailored training program fully aligned with ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155, and IEC 62443 standards.

Project Overview

We designed and delivered a blended training program combining theoretical foundations, practical workshops, and project-specific consulting. The training addressed both automotive and industrial embedded systems, covering: Threat modeling and risk assessment, secure architecture design, s Software and hardware hardening, vulnerability management and incident response, compliance workflows and audit readiness, Each module was adapted to the client’s maturity level, engineering culture, and product lifecycle stage.

Approach / Methodology

We combine targeted training, practical exercises, and structured assessments to build lasting cybersecurity capabilities. Our approach emphasizes actionable learning, process integration, and measurable improvement across engineering teams.

Securing embedded systems following ISO 21434, IEC 62443, and industry best practices.

Project: Automotive Cybersecurity Hands-On training Program

Challenge / Problem Statement
The automotive sector faces rising cybersecurity risks as vehicles become increasingly connected and software-driven. Key challenges include:

  • Identifying and mitigating cyber threats and vulnerabilities
  • Monitoring and detecting anomalies in real-time
  • Responding effectively to incidents to minimize impact
  • Ensuring compliance with regulations (UNECE R155/R156, ISO/SAE 21434, TISAX, GDPR..)
  • Building sustainable organizational cybersecurity management systems (CSMS/SUMS)

Key Achievements

  • Increased organizational cybersecurity awareness across R&D, quality, and safety teams.
  • Enabled the client to demonstrate compliance with ISO 21434 and UNECE R155 during supplier audits.
  • Improved incident response coordination and secure design practices.
  • Provided reusable internal training materials for onboarding new employees.
