Introducing the Automotive Secure Development Lifecycle (ASDL) Combining SBD’s knowledge of automotive security, connected architectures, and autonomous vehicle technologies, ASDL draws upon an engineering approach to improving vehicle security. Some of our methods: System design architecture Avoid the cost of complex recalls by identifying weaknesses early in the design stage. Services include attack surface analysis and design/architecture reviews. Asset protection definition Define what you are protecting, whether it is safety critical systems, intellectual property or drivers’ personal data. Through industry-wide intelligence, we help you set the right cybersecurity targets for your brand. Threat modeling Better understand your security requirements with a prioritized list of threats. We help identify which part of your system architecture an attacker would target, the methods they would use, their motivation, the likelihood of each type of attack and the potential impact on your business. Define countermeasures Mitigate risks identified at the threat modeling stage. Services include attack mitigation advice and attack surface reduction training. Best practice guidance Bringing together your potential attack list with the collective experience of our specialists, market intelligence, industry standards and best practice, we help you pinpoint the most cost-effective way of protecting your brand. Security assessment Identify any remaining weaknesses in your actual system with hands-on penetration testing. By simulating real-world threats, we provide a clear and realistic picture of your systems’ resilience to attack. Incident response Vulnerabilities exist even within the most thoroughly designed and tested systems. In the event of a security breach, we help ensure you are prepared with a comprehensive plan to protect your reputation, minimize the damage and correct the weakness.​ Key benefits:

• Avoid complex and expensive recall by ​mitigating cybersecurity threats early in the design stage
• Prioritize investment by better understanding the biggest threats to your brand
• Keep up with today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape by continually enhancing knowledge within your organization.
