Standards

In today's technologically advanced world, software plays a critical role in numerous industries, particularly in the area of embedded systems. As the complexity and connectivity of these systems increase, ensuring their safety, security, and reliability becomes paramount.

To address these safety and security concerns, international standards have been developed to provide guidelines and requirements for the development and maintenance of embedded software. Prominent standards in the domain of Functional Safety are ISO 26262 and IEC 61508.These standards offer valuable frameworks that enable embedded software companies to deliver products that meet rigorous requirements, mitigating risks and ensuring customer satisfaction.

For security, standards such as EN TS 50701 for railways and ISO 21434 are well established. They focus on the growing concern of cybersecurity threats in the automotive and transportation industries. With the rapid integration of software and connectivity into vehicles, there is an increased vulnerability to cyber attacks. ISO 21434 provides guidelines and best practices for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risks throughout the software development lifecycle. Compliance with this standard helps embedded software companies strengthen the security of their systems, safeguarding against potential cyber threats, and protecting the privacy and security of vehicle occupants.
