The unique combination of engineering expertise, advanced testing facilities and prime location of MIRA Technology Park in the heart of the UK automotive industry, enables customers to develop and validate their technology, or vehicle, in one place.

Automotive Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity presents one of the most formidable structural challenges to the automotive industry in recent times. As vehicles have become increasingly software-dependent and connected to their operating environment, they are increasingly exposed to cybersecurity liabilities and risk. A new cybersecurity regulation set down by the UNECE and standards that are in development by the ISO/SAE will in the immediate future establish significant new requirements for vehicle manufacturers to secure Type Approval. Without action, vehicle manufacturers in many markets will simply not be able to sell their cars, trucks or buses.

Navigating the new regulation is therefore mission-critical for the industry. HORIBA MIRA’s Vehicle Resilience engineers bring a complete contextual understanding of cybersecurity and its place in the wider automotive V-cycle. Having actively contributed to drafting of the new regulation and standard, they are extremely well-positioned to guide OEMs through the process.
