Hyundai AutoEver announced that it has obtained Level 3 certification for the Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) based on international standards from the global testing and certification body TUV Rheinland.
Hyundai AutoEver first acquired CSMS Level 2 in May 2022 and has now received Level 3 certification in about two years. A company official explained that this signifies a significant enhancement of security capabilities to proactively respond to cybersecurity threats in future vehicles.
CSMS is a system designed to continuously manage risks throughout the entire lifecycle of a vehicle, from design to mass production and discontinuation. It proves that vehicle manufacturers or parts suppliers have objective processes in place to ensure cybersecurity. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) implemented the vehicle cybersecurity regulation 'UNECE R-155' in 2021, and from July this year, only vehicles certified with CSMS can be sold in the 56 countries that are parties to the UNECE agreement.
The recently obtained CSMS certification covers a total of 11 areas, corresponding to all areas for a software-specialized company. Hyundai AutoEver previously acquired the highest grade ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) certification under the international automotive functional safety standard ISO26262, and also holds the ASPICE CL1 certification for vehicle software process assessment standards. With the acquisition of CSMS Level 3 this time, Hyundai AutoEver has officially been recognized for improving software quality and cybersecurity management capabilities.
A representative from Hyundai AutoEver’s Vehicle Security Technology Team said, "As the proportion of software in vehicles increases, cybersecurity is developing into an element as important as vehicle performance and design," adding, "We will expand from technical security to procedural security to safely protect vehicles and drivers."
