567 SAE International has published its guidebook on vehicle cybersecurity, SAE J3061: Cybersecurity Guidebook for Cyber-Physical Vehicle Standards, which establishes a set of high-level guiding principles for cybersecurity as it relates to cyber-physical vehicle systems.

The guidebook includes: Definition of a complete lifecycle process framework that can be tailored and utilised within each organisation’s development processes to incorporate cybersecurity into cyber-physical vehicle systems from concept phase through production, operation, service, and decommissioning;  Information on some common existing tools and methods used when designing, verifying and validating cyber-physical vehicle systems; Basic guiding principles on cybersecurity for vehicle systems; The foundation for further standards development activities in vehicle cybersecurity.

“This first in the world SAE Recommended Practice for automotive cyber security was developed by an international group of top experts in the field,” said Jack Pokrzywa, director of ground vehicle standards for SAE International.

“It describes commonly structured process to ensure that cybersecurity is built in to the design throughout all phases of product development from concept through product design, verification/validation, deployment, service & disposal. As a result, the likelihood of a successful attack is reduced.”

    GIS mapping smoothes ITS operations and increases efficiencies
    Alexander Gerschenkron, the famous economic historian, once posited a benefit for those countries which come late to economic development: that they could introduce the latest technology and thus jump over some of the standard development paths followed by their predecessors . It is entirely possible to make the same observation of late-comers to ITS: that they can gain from the pains of those who went before and more easily implement best practice in ITS. As a consequence, it is entirely likely the Abu Dha

    As security threats become increasingly vast and varied, multinationals are beginning to see the need for an effective global security operations centre to protect their organisation. James I. Chong spells out what is required. You know you need a global security operations centre (GSOC) to support what you’ve built, identify threats, and prevent disasters before they happen - but how do you know if it’s truly effective? There’s no shortage of information coming into operation centres. Too often, it’s the

    Telematics standards need to evolve to keep up with technology
    Scott Andrews and Scott McCormick take a look at how standards development for the telematics environment needs itself to evolve in order to stay abreast of technological advances. While the road has been somewhat arduous, telematics has evolved from a research activity to a resource for fleet operators, consumers and road management authorities.
