ENX Announced Vehicle CyberSecurity (VCS) Program

The automotive industry is undergoing rapid digitalization with advancements in automated driving, connectivity, and new mobility concepts. However, this digital transformation also brings an increased need for robust cybersecurity measures in electrical and electronic (E/E) systems across the automotive supply chain. Recognizing this demand, ENX has recently announced the Vehicle CyberSecurity (VCS) program, aimed at setting standards for cybersecurity in the automotive sector.

The VCS program is the result of collaborative efforts by a project group comprising experts from vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, and E/E component engineering service providers. Their objective was to explore the feasibility of implementing a meaningful VCS audit within the existing ENX audit ecosystem. This initiative builds upon the knowledge and processes gained from the automotive assessment and information exchange mechanism for cybersecurity, known as TISAX.
