Automotive Cybersecurity by Design

As vehicles become increasingly connected, software-driven, and AI-enabled, cybersecurity is now central to the development of modern automotive systems. From over-the-air (OTA) software updates and vehicle-to-cloud (V2X) communication to ADAS, autonomous driving, and complex domain and zonal architectures, modern vehicles depend on cybersecurity to support safety, resilience, and regulatory compliance.

SRES supports automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and developers of advanced vehicle technologies throughout the product lifecycle. We help organizations develop practical cybersecurity strategies aligned with current and emerging standards and regulations, including ISO/SAE 21434, EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), ISO 24089, UNECE R155/R156, and IEC 62443. Our broader expertise across functional safety (ISO 26262), SOTIF (ISO 21448), systems engineering, and AI-enabled vehicle development (ISO/PAS 8800) allows us to support cybersecurity within the broader context of vehicle development.

Our experience spans cybersecurity engineering and architecture, standards alignment and lifecycle integration, and cybersecurity operations. We support engineering teams across every phase of the V-model, helping them implement practical cybersecurity solutions that strengthen vehicle resilience while meeting evolving regulatory and customer expectations.
