SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:
SNPS) today announced that Synopsys ARC® HS4xFS Processor
IP achieved ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity certification by
SGS-TṺV Saar, meeting stringent automotive regulatory requirements
designed to protect connected vehicles from malicious cyberattacks.
The ISO/SAE 21434 standard defines the engineering requirements for
cybersecurity risk management, helping to ensure that cyber risks
are monitored, detected, and mitigated throughout the vehicle's
lifecycle. The ARC HS4xFS Processors are also certified to the ISO
26262 standard, meeting ASIL D Random and ASIL D Systematic
compliance for safety-critical systems, making it both
cybersecurity and safety certified. In addition, Synopsys achieved
certification of its IP development process to the ISO/SAE 21434
standard to help ensure its IP products are developed with a
security-first mindset through every phase of the product
development lifecycle. The company will continue to invest in
certifying its broad IP portfolio, including specific interface,
security, and processor IP products, to help ensure compliance to
cybersecurity requirements, reducing design risk and accelerating
time-to-market for safe and robust systems-on-chips (SoCs).
"As a leading IP provider, Synopsys recognizes the critical
importance of cybersecurity in the automotive industry and the
needs of automotive OEMs to safeguard their vehicles against
evolving cyber threats," said John
Koeter, senior vice president of product management and
strategy for IP at Synopsys. "Achieving the industry's first
third-party ISO/SAE 21434 certified IP product with ARC Processor
IP demonstrates Synopsys' commitment to deliver high-quality and
safe IP that helps our customers to meet the latest regulations for
their safety- and security-critical devices."
What's Driving the Need for ISO/SAE 21434
Compliance?
Cars are becoming increasingly software-defined,
enabling car manufacturers to add new features or functions
remotely through over-the-air (OTA) software updates. However, OTA
updates and other connected applications, such as vehicle
telematics and smartphone connectivity, can create security gaps
that open systems to unauthorized access, tampering, and the
injection of malware and viruses. For this reason, to release new
road vehicles, automotive OEMs are mandated by the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe's
UN R155 regulation to adopt a cybersecurity management system like
ISO/SAE 21434, making compliance a prerequisite for market success.
By integrating products that adhere to the ISO/SAE 21434
cybersecurity standard, OEMs can more easily meet regulatory
requirements to better protect their customers' data.
"As a supplier of highly reliable microcontrollers for use in
automotive systems, it is critical that our products meet
automotive cybersecurity standards to minimize the vulnerability to
cyberattacks. At Infineon, we firmly believe that the robustness of
ISO 21434 compliant solutions over the lifecycle relies heavily on
strong collaboration among all stakeholders, including
IP/hardware/software suppliers and customers," said Mr. Joerg
Schepers, Vice President for Automotive Microcontrollers at
Infineon. "The automotive industry has a complex supply chain, and
vendors, like Synopsys, that provide ISO 21434 certified solutions
help ensure that security best practices are followed throughout
the entire development process from IP to final vehicle
assembly."
"With the increase in hardware and software vulnerabilities in
connected cars, automotive vendors across the supply chain are
adhering to tougher cybersecurity regulations to help OEMs meet
governmental standards," said Tobias Hörmann Product Manager,
Cybersecurity at SGS-TṺV Saar. "By achieving ISO 21434
certification for its IP development process and for the ARC HS4xFS
Processor IP, Synopsys is helping automotive engineers meet
automotive cybersecurity requirements."
