Security Modelling in Automotive Industry

Abstract

As electronic systems are getting more complex and expanding into more industries, it is becoming imperative that security is increased. In order to achieve this, security needs to be considered from the early stages of a system’s design and be presented in the models as well. In this report, a comparative case study has been conducted.The current state of security modeling in Volvo Cars Corporation (VCC) is considered in order to suggest an improved manner of security modelling integrated in the system models. The target is to improve the security modelling in VCC in order to reach - or reduce the gap between itself and - the state-of-art in security modelling in academia. The results are discussed and used in order to give answers to the research questions set for this report.
