Modern vehicles face structural challenges that traditional engineering workflows can no longer address:
Fragmented cyber security activities across development and operation
Each software update triggers new risks. Without a continuous, consistent security review process, gaps emerge between development, integration, and in‑use phases.
Low reproducibility due to heavy reliance on individual experts
Cyber security assessments often depend on specialized know‑how, leading to variations in results between teams and over time – making it hard to ensure stable, high‑quality outcomes.
Short update cycles demand faster, more data‑driven security processes
Rapid software releases leave no room for traditional, manually maintained, database‑driven attack trees. Teams need automated, scalable approaches to keep pace without sacrificing quality.
AVL provides an integrated cyber security and compliance ecosystem that supports OEMs and suppliers across the entire vehicle lifecycle. Our solutions automate complex tasks, ensure consistent processes, and reduce the manual effort typically required in threat analysis and compliance documentation. This enables faster development cycles, higher process quality, and seamless alignment with global standards.
Automated Threat and Risk Assessment
AVL ThreatGuard automatically generates threat scenarios, impact analyses and attack trees directly from your system architecture. Its ready‑to‑use threat catalogs cover various standards and regulation guidelines. By eliminating manual TARA efforts, it significantly reduces time and cost and offers seamless integration with Jira, ALM, PLM and ReqIF environments.
Integrated compliance management
AVL ComplyGuard provides a central hub that delivers process guidance, automated document generation for ISO 21434 and ISO 26262, built‑in audit and assessment modules, and role management across OEMs and the supply chain. It significantly reduces the effort required to create, collect, and review compliance evidence.
Engineering Services for Safe and Connected Mobility
By providing end‑to‑end cybersecurity services as well as consulting and training from development to the in‑use phase, AVL helps ensure that vehicle systems are developed to remain robust, resilient, and fully compliant at all times.
Accelerated Cyber Security Compliance
Generate all required homologation and compliance documents at the push of a button, enabling faster certification under standards and regulations like ISO 26262, and ISO/SAE 21434 including UNR 155.
End‑to‑End Threat and Risk Assessment
Identify, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats early through model‑based TARA, automated attack‑path simulation, and continuous threat updates for lifecycle protection.

This webinar will discuss how typical features within the software-defined vehicle (SDV), such as component sharing, on-demand features or short update cycles, impact the level of security.
In this webinar, we will explore the challenges and requirements of continuous Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) across the supply chain and throughout the lifecycle of a vehicle and its components - from project initiation to maintenance and reevaluation.
The automotive industry is facing growing cyber security and compliance requirements, including regulations like UNR 155 and CRA. Companies today need more than just TARA—they must implement a complete approach including testing, vulnerability management, continuous monitoring, incident response, and updates.
