MAXIMUM SECURITY
Secure connectivity without compromise
Modern technologies such as software over the air (SOTA), hardware updates in the field of vehicle electronics and the continuous exchange of data between vehicles and their environment increase the risk of cyber attacks. The EDAG Group therefore relies on the highest standards for secure connectivity. Our comprehensive cybersecurity and functional safety services are not only geared to software-defined vehicles (SDV), but also to the security of the entire development infrastructure.
By integrating penetration testing, AI-supported monitoring, modern encryption technologies and specific security measures for development tools and software, we ensure robust cybersecurity protection for cars across all components.
As the world's leading independent engineering partner, the EDAG Group is at your side throughout the entire development process, ensuring that your vehicles are fundamentally secure.
Topic overview
Professional and reliable cybersecurity strategies
For secure connectivity, we develop effective cybersecurity strategies for software-defined vehicles and their associated development tools. Our security architectures are individually tailored to your vehicles and infrastructure and seamlessly implemented. With our connected services for risk assessment and threat analysis, we secure the data flow between vehicles and digital infrastructure. We identify weak points in vehicle systems precisely through penetration testing.
In addition, we evaluate and manage security risks according to international standards. Our Functional Safety Management enables preventive error avoidance in both vehicle systems and development processes.
AI-supported security solutions enable continuous monitoring of the security situation. Measures are automatically adjusted as needed to ensure maximum cyber security. At the same time, advanced AI technologies not only improve security processes in the event of threats, but also increase efficiency in development.


A strategy for functional safety
- Initial risk analysis
Early assessment of potential security risks for SDVs and development tools to identify threats in good time.
- Development of the safety architecture
Development and implementation of customized safety structures for vehicles and development tools, based on the results of the risk analysis.
- Safety tests
We conduct regular tests to uncover safety-critical hazards in vehicle systems and development software.
- Functional Safety Management
Our experts assess and manage safety risks according to international standards to ensure preventive failure avoidance.
- AI-supported monitoring and continuous optimization
With AI, we continuously monitor the security situation, automatically adjust measures when threats are detected, improve our ability to respond to security threats, and increase the efficiency of development processes.
- Training and education
