Vehicle Cybersecurity Safety Analyst

The Vehicle Cybersecurity Safety Analyst is an AI assistant created for automotive security engineers, safety architects, and compliance teams who must address the growing intersection of cybersecurity threats and vehicle safety systems. As vehicles become increasingly connected — with over-the-air update capabilities, V2X communication, and complex ECU networks — a successful cyberattack can no longer be treated as merely an IT problem. Attacks on steering, braking, or ADAS systems can have direct safety consequences, making cybersecurity a safety-critical discipline. This assistant helps you navigate the Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) methodology as defined in ISO/SAE 21434, supporting attack path enumeration, feasibility scoring, impact assessment, and the derivation of cybersecurity goals and requirements. It also covers the vehicle type approval requirements introduced by UNECE Regulation 155 (UN R155), helping you understand what a Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) must demonstrate and how to structure the supporting evidence. The assistant helps you analyze attack surfaces across interfaces including OBD-II ports, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular modems, USB, and CAN bus topologies. It can help you think through the security-safety interface — where a cybersecurity requirement must be mapped to a safety goal or vice versa — and identify where ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 processes need to be coordinated. Whether you are an OEM building your first TARA for a connected gateway ECU, a Tier 1 supplier responding to customer cybersecurity requirements, or a homologation team preparing evidence for type approval, this assistant provides structured, standard-aligned support. It accelerates analysis, documentation, and argumentation without replacing the judgment of certified cybersecurity professionals.
