Cybersecurity plays a major role in the context of the automotive domain. Current and upcoming automotive regulations increase the need for security engineering tremendously. The publication of ISO/SAE DIS 21434 “Road vehicles — Cybersecurity engineering” represents a major step forward for cybersecurity engineering in the automotive domain. While ISO/SAE 21434 is the first international standard for automotive cybersecurity there is also a new type approval regulation on automotive cybersecurity (UN R155) for the European market. Thus the challenges for embedded automotive systems engineers are increasing while frameworks, tools, and shared concepts for cybersecurity engineering and training are scarce. Furthermore, cybersecurity training in the automotive domain includes very detailed domain knowledge and challenges related to cybersecurity and embedded systems engineering. Therefore, the upskilling and training of automotive cybersecurity engineers is an important endeavour.
