Project Abstract

The research is focused on the key juncture of automotive technology and cybersecurity, addressing this critical issue of the requirement of systematic risk-driven testing standards in the time of cars that are more and more computerized and interconnected. By focusing on the new standards, including SAE/ISO 21434, this research endeavor will aim to alleviate cybersecurity risks in vehicles, yet bringing to the fore the necessity to be proactive in the face of ever-changing cyber threats. Also, the study involves behavioral analytics in cybersecurity, the goal of which is to leverage advanced data collection methods and machine learning algorithms for the improved ability to detect and prevent threats.The goal of this research is to provide a complete view of car cybersecurity and make further innovative moves in safeguarding automotive systems from cyberattacks that have increased with the advent of automotive technology. This research aims to provide a literature review that covers different methodologies, and technologies to outline the effective techniques for risk mitigation and behavioral analytics that are specific to the automobile domain.The critical findings draw attention to the role of standards such as SAE/ISO 21434, which are the basis for cybersecurity planning and risk assessment in vehicle design and development. Another important finding is that the study outlines the role of behavioral analytics in the proactive identification and mitigation of cyber threats, with machine learning algorithms and data collection methods serving as the capabilities to detect the threat at a more early stage.Finally, this paper introduces the way forward in automotive cybersecurity by outlining risk-driven testing standards and scrutinizing behavioral analytics. The project purports to form a synthesis by merging various pieces of information from different sources and disciplines. It aims to improve industry practices and grow both sectors’ resilience to more advanced cyber attacks
