This curriculum spans the technical and organisational complexity of a multi-workshop cybersecurity integration program, matching the depth required for securing connected vehicle systems across development, deployment, and operational lifecycle phases.

Module 1: Threat Modeling for Connected Vehicle Systems

  • Conducting STRIDE-based threat assessments on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication stacks, including identifying spoofing risks in DSRC and C-V2X protocols.
  • Mapping attack surfaces across electronic control units (ECUs), telematics control units (TCUs), and over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms.
  • Defining trust boundaries between in-vehicle networks (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and external cloud services.
  • Selecting appropriate threat modeling tools (e.g., Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool, IriusRisk) for integration into automotive development pipelines.
  • Documenting threat scenarios involving remote exploitation of infotainment systems leading to CAN bus intrusion.
  • Validating threat model assumptions through red team exercises and penetration testing on prototype vehicles.

Module 2: Secure Architecture Design for Automotive Platforms

  • Implementing hardware-rooted security using Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) or Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in ECU designs.
  • Designing secure gateway ECUs to enforce segmentation between high-criticality (e.g., braking) and low-criticality (e.g., HVAC) domains.
  • Enforcing secure boot chains with cryptographic verification of firmware across all onboard processors.
  • Integrating secure communication protocols (e.g., TLS 1.3, MACsec) for inter-ECU and vehicle-to-cloud data transmission.
  • Evaluating the trade-offs between centralized domain controllers versus distributed ECU security management.
  • Specifying secure update mechanisms for third-party applications in open infotainment platforms.

Module 3: Identity and Access Management in Vehicle Networks

  • Deploying certificate-based authentication for ECUs using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with short-lived certificates.
  • Managing lifecycle of digital identities for millions of vehicles across multiple geographic regions.
  • Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) for diagnostic ports (e.g., OBD-II) to restrict unauthorized access.
  • Integrating vehicle identity into enterprise IAM systems for fleet management and shared mobility use cases.
  • Handling key revocation and re-provisioning in response to compromised vehicle credentials.
  • Designing secure handshakes between mobile devices and vehicles for keyless entry without replay vulnerabilities.

Module 4: Over-the-Air (OTA) Update Security

  • Validating end-to-end integrity and authenticity of OTA firmware packages using code signing and hash chaining.
  • Designing rollback protection mechanisms to prevent downgrade attacks on ECU software versions.
  • Implementing delta update strategies with cryptographic verification at each patch application stage.
  • Coordinating secure update sequencing across interdependent ECUs to avoid partial or inconsistent states.
  • Enforcing access controls on OTA backend servers to prevent unauthorized update initiation.
  • Monitoring and logging OTA deployment anomalies indicative of tampering or distribution channel compromise.

Module 5: Intrusion Detection and Response in Vehicle Systems

  • Deploying in-vehicle intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor CAN bus for abnormal message frequency or spoofed IDs.
  • Configuring thresholds for anomaly detection to minimize false positives in real-world driving conditions.
  • Integrating vehicle IDS alerts with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems at the OEM backend.
  • Defining automated response protocols, such as network segmentation or ECU isolation, upon confirmed intrusion.
  • Developing forensic data collection mechanisms that preserve evidence without impacting vehicle safety.
  • Establishing incident response workflows for coordinating between cybersecurity teams, vehicle safety engineers, and field operations.

Module 6: Compliance and Regulatory Alignment

  • Implementing UN R155 and R156 cybersecurity management system (CSMS) requirements across global development teams.
  • Conducting gap assessments between internal security practices and ISO/SAE 21434 threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) mandates.
  • Documenting cybersecurity engineering artifacts for audit readiness, including threat models, test reports, and risk registers.
  • Establishing processes for reporting cybersecurity incidents to regulatory bodies within mandated timeframes.
  • Aligning supply chain security requirements with OEM obligations under automotive cybersecurity regulations.
  • Managing regional compliance variations, such as China's GB standards or U.S. NHTSA guidelines, in global vehicle deployments.

Module 7: Supply Chain and Third-Party Risk Management

  • Enforcing security requirements in contracts with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers for ECU and software components.
  • Validating supplier-provided software bills of materials (SBOMs) for open-source components with known vulnerabilities.
