ThreatZ is a state-of-the-art cybersecurity management platform designed specifically for the automotive industry. Built to address the evolving threat landscape and complex compliance requirements, ThreatZ provides automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and security teams with a comprehensive suite of tools to model, assess, mitigate, and monitor cybersecurity risks throughout the vehicle lifecycle. This document outlines how ThreatZ addresses critical industry challenges, describes its powerful modular architecture, and demonstrates how it enables organizations to achieve and maintain compliance with key standards, including ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155.
Modern vehicles have evolved into complex networks of connected software and hardware components, creating an expanded attack surface that traditional security approaches struggle to protect. With up to 150 electronic control units and millions of lines of code in a single vehicle, automotive manufacturers and suppliers face unprecedented challenges:
Connected vehicles introduce multiple entry points for attackers, including wireless interfaces, telematics systems, infotainment units, and third-party applications. As vehicle connectivity increases, so does vulnerability to remote attacks that can compromise critical safety systems.
The automotive supply chain involves numerous tier suppliers providing components with varying security maturity levels. Managing security across this distributed network creates significant visibility and governance challenges.
The introduction of UNECE R155/R156 regulations and ISO/SAE 21434 standards has created mandatory cybersecurity requirements for vehicle type approval in many markets. Non-compliance can prevent vehicle sales and damage brand reputation.
