About this event
Modern vehicles are more than machines – they are computers on wheels, evolving into complex digital ecosystems. As automotive software and electronics become more sophisticated, the lines between safety and security are blurring. Ensuring both is no longer optional – it's essential.
This panel discussion will analyze why Functional Safety (FuSa) and Cybersecurity must be engineered together from the very beginning, and why ISO 26262, while foundational for automotive safety, must be complemented by ISO/SAE 21434 and other standards to effectively manage risks throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle.
