Project Abstract

The project is focused on the Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) framework for developing cybersecurity in automotive operations. In the process of collecting information on VAPT frameworks, case study analysis has been done by focusing on specific frameworks CANalyzer, CANvas, OpenXC, Metasploit Framework. These security tools help in improving the security operation to manage the threat while detecting the risk measures within the operations. Thus, the tools within this project are selected due to their proven effectiveness, observed with aligned industry standards, and comprehensive insights into automotive cybersecurity issues. The use of SAE/ISO 21434 standards in automotive cybersecurity is examined in this study, which aims to promote safe practices that go beyond human factors and increase system resilience.In order to protect automotive systems from cyberattacks, which have become more frequent with the development of automotive technology, this research aims to present a comprehensive understanding of automotive cybersecurity and to take additional creative measures in this regard. In order to explain the efficient methods for VAPT framework that are unique to the automotive industry, this research attempts to give a literature review that covers various risk tools, methodology, and technologies.In summary, this paper presents the direction of automotive cybersecurity by describing guidelines for risk-driven testing and VAPT frameworks. The goal of the endeavor is to create an understanding by combining various information from many disciplines and sources. It seeks to raise both industries defence against more advanced cyberattacks and enhance industry standards.
