Microchip earns ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicle certification
Summary
The ISO/SAE 21434 standard has emerged to set requirements for road vehicle cyber security risk management processes. Adhering to these standards, Microchip Technology’s corporate processes associated with specific automotive work products have recently been audited by a third party, UL Solutions, and certified as compliant to ISO/SAE 21434. It is a demanding specification with 45 security categories, known as work products, each of which specifies a unique set of requirements that encompass all aspects of designing electrical and electronic systems for road vehicles, from ICs and software to firmware and libraries. Stakeholders involved in the product lifecycle are required to complete cyber security training and meet designated qualifications. A Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) methodology is also incorporated at multiple stages of the product lifecycle when devices will be integrated into automotive cyber security-related platforms.
