TṺV certifies Synopsys ARC core for automotive cybersecurity
The Synopsys ARC HS4xFS Processor IP has achieved ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity certification.
Synopsys interface, security, and processor IP development processes are now also third-party certified to the ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity standard, helping designers meet the mandated UN R155 regulation.
The ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity certification by SGS- TṺV Saar, meeting stringent automotive regulatory requirements designed to protect connected vehicles from malicious cyberattacks.
“With the increase in hardware and software vulnerabilities in connected cars, automotive vendors across the supply chain are adhering to tougher cybersecurity regulations to help OEMs meet governmental standards. By achieving ISO 21434 certification for its IP development process and for the ARC HS4xFS Processor IP, Synopsys is helping automotive engineers meet automotive cybersecurity requirements,” said Tobias Hörmann,Product Manager, Cybersecurity at SGS-TṺV Saar.
