Synopsys declared that the Synopsys ARC HS4xFS Processor IP has obtained ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity certification by SGS-TUV Saar, satisfying the rigorous automotive regulatory standards intended to safeguard connected vehicles against malicious cyberattacks.
The engineering criteria for cybersecurity risk management are outlined in the ISO/SAE 21434 standard, which aids in making sure that cybersecurity risk management are tracked, identified, and reduced during the course of a vehicle’s lifecycle. The ARC HS4xFS Processor are certified for both cybersecurity and safety, having met ASIL D Random and ASIL D Systematic compliance for safety-critical systems, according to the ISO 26262 standard.
In order to help ensure that its intellectual property(IP) development process with a security-first mindset throughout every phase of the product development lifecycle, Synopsys got its IP development process to the ISO/SAE 21434 standard certified. The company will keep investing in certifying its wide range of intellectual property (IP) portfolio, including specific interface, security, and processor IP products. This will assist to guarantee compliance with cybersecurity regulations, lower design risk, and hasten the time to market for reliable and secure systems-on-chips (SoCs).
“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?
Automobile makers may now add new features or functionalities remotely using over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades as cars are becoming more and more software-defined. OTA updates and other connected applications, such as smartphone connectivity and car telematics, can, however, lead to security flaws that allow malware and viruses to infiltrate systems and gain unauthorized access.
Because of this, car manufacturers must implement a cybersecurity management system such as ISO/SAE 21434 in order to release new road vehicles in accordance with the UN R155 rule of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
This means that compliance is a requirement for market success. OEMs can more easily comply with regulatory obligations to properly safeguard their customers’ data by integrating devices that follow the ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity standard.
“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-TUV 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.”
