Infineon's AURIX™ TC4xx product line is expected to be certified according to the ISO/SAE 21434 standard.
With the implementation of UN R155, companies must apply security regulations to their products and development processes.

Infineon Technologies (hereafter Infineon) has become the first semiconductor company to obtain ISO/SAE 21434 certification, a new international standard for automotive cybersecurity management systems (CSMS).

Infineon announced on the 29th that its upcoming AURIX™ TC4xx microcontroller family will be certified according to the ISO/SAE 21434 standard based on a cybersecurity architecture.

The new UN R155 regulation, introduced by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), comes as the importance of cybersecurity in connected vehicles grows.

Under this regulation, which takes effect in July 2022, automakers must incorporate security measures into their products and their development processes.

To sell new vehicles in areas where the R155 regulation applies, automakers must obtain Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) compliance certification for each vehicle type.

To achieve this certification, automakers must implement cybersecurity practices across their supply chains to reduce the overall risk of cyberattacks, from the initial concept stage through the end of a vehicle's life.

InpiNian's ISO/SAE 21434 compliant cybersecurity management system is applied to a wide range of products supporting automotive cybersecurity, including AURIX™ and PSOC™ microcontrollers, SEMPER™ Secure flash memory, and OPTIGA™ hardware security modules.

Following industry best practices, the cybersecurity management system encompasses information technology, manufacturing technology, selected geographic locations, and regulatory environments.

Infineon's threat monitoring system can actively analyze relevant vulnerability disclosures and assess potential threats to Infineon's security products and systems and mitigate their impact according to a product security incident response process compliant with the ISO/SAE 21434 standard.

Additionally, monitoring and incident response capabilities compliant with the ISO/SAE 21434 standard enable Infineon and its customers to work closely together to quickly identify and mitigate risks to product security in accordance with risk management programs and relevant regulations.
