Headline: Development of ISO/SAE 21434 compliant threat analysis innovations: VERZEUSE(TM) for TARA
Yokohama, Japan, October 24, 2024 – Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. (“Panasonic Automotive Systems”) has developed VERZEUSE for TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), an innovative ISO/SAE 21434-compliant threat analysis system that supports rapid development by automating the threat analysis necessary to protect vehicles from cyber-attacks during the early stages of vehicle development.It will be showcased at EdgeTech+ 2024*1 which will take place from November 20 to 22, 2024.
VERZEUSE for TARA provides comprehensive analysis of cyber security risks for vehicles and in-vehicle devices in the early stages of development and efficiently derives ISO/SAE 21434 compliant threat analysis results. Even developers who are not security experts can simply answer a few questionnaires to determine countermeasure requirements based on the characteristics of in-vehicle devices from Panasonic Automotive Systems’ Threat Intelligence database, which collates threats, vulnerabilities, and security controls.
This innovative system helps streamline the threat analysis process and has been applied to more than 80 of our company’s in-vehicle products. Compared to the conventional manual process of threat analysis, this system has been proven to reduce workload by up to 90%*2 for large-scale products such as navigation systems. Car manufacturers that have used the system have highly evaluated its usefulness, and we have been commissioned to provide multiple consulting projects for risk assessment.
*1 EdgeTech+ 2024 https://www.jasa.or.jp/expo/english/*2 When our company analyzed the navigation system (220 assets, 1250 threat scenarios, and 3230 countermeasure requirements), the workload was reduced from 30 to 3 person-months by using this system.
