ISO/SAE 21434, jointly developed by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE), serves as a crucial standard supporting
the United Nations Regulation on Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity
Management Systems (UN R155). This standard defines cybersecurity
risk management requirements for automotive electronic and
electrical systems throughout their entire lifecycle, encompassing
conceptualization, development, production, operation, and disposal
phases. Compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 standards assist automotive
manufacturers and parts suppliers in meeting global automotive
cybersecurity management regulatory requirements.
During the certificate presentation ceremony, Max Cheng, CEO of
VicOne, received the certification from Aaron Lee, Managing
Director of DEKRA Taiwan. Aaron Lee said: “As we embrace the era of
the IoT, cybersecurity becomes a core requirement in the
increasingly interconnected and intelligent automotive
manufacturing and development processes. Particularly in the
fiercely competitive automotive market where every second counts,
leveraging internationally certified automotive cybersecurity
software tools and solutions to achieve more efficient
implementation and compliance with automotive cybersecurity
international standards will be the best way for automotive
manufacturers and suppliers to reduce development and production
costs.”
“Amid the increasing connected functions and applications
adopted in the automotive industry, VicOne has long been affirmed
in its capabilities in developing best-in class cybersecurity
products and solutions to ensure safer and more secure connected
vehicles,” said VicOne CEO, Max Cheng. “Now, following our ASPICE
CL2 certification from DEKRA last year, we have obtained the
ISO/SAE 21434 certification. This further demonstrates VicOne’s
advanced development capabilities and excellent quality control,
which enables us to provide more reliable and trustworthy products
and solutions to world-renowned car manufacturers (OEMs) and
suppliers.”
Achieving compliance with respect to ISO 21434 demonstrates
VicOne's commitment to cybersecurity in automotive systems,
enhancing their reputation and trustworthiness in the market. The
conventional approach in the automotive industry is centered on
functional safety, with ISO 26262 being embraced to ensure the
seamless functioning of software and hardware. However, as electric
and intelligently connected vehicles experience rapid growth,
information security introduces a host of new and unpredictable
risks and challenges to the industry. Therefore it's about
enhancing credibility, competitiveness, risk management, customer
trust, and regulatory adherence in the automotive cybersecurity
landscape.
DEKRA has placed a significant focus on information and
cybersecurity, having been designated by the German Federal Motor
Transport Authority (KBA) as a technical service provider in the
field of vehicle cybersecurity in 2021. With extensive experience
in providing automotive cybersecurity services for major European
OEMs, DEKRA offers localized one-stop real-time services, including

safety, ISO 27001/TISAX automotive industry information security
assessment standards, Automotive SPICE, and certification and
